Pinkney's vision is of a world rich in beauty and brimming with life, both before and after the flood. The narration, which goes beyond raven and dove to a first harvest and the rainbow, is clean and spare, only occasionally varied with fanciful expressions. The artfully composed, full-bleed spreads are varied with creative points of view. This Noah's Ark, eloquently imbued with reverence for God and the natural world, belongs in every library.
