Illustrated by
Santiago Cohen.
This is a gentle, sanitized version of the familiar Old Testament story. Cohen's color-drenched illustrations in deep blues, greens, and browns are more engaging than the text's uninspired rhymes ("Then lightning flashed! / and thunder ROARED! / When all were in / God shut the door"). Lucy Cousins's Noah's Ark is a more successful book for the same age group.
