(2) K-3 Illustrated by Joydeb Chitrakar. An accordion-style pictorial narration of the Flood unfolds to a nine-foot spread of Noah and his wife gathering creatures; the reverse side follows the Ark to its landing. Wolf's well-phrased account--an Indian version of the story common to many cultures--is generally straightforward, a fine complement to Chitrakar's striking art in the Bengal Patua style of scroll painting.
