Illustrated by
Jackie Morris.
Hoffman retells the portions of nine Old Testament stories dealing with animals. Readers are left with only snippets of larger stories, and the stories have little in common except the presence of animals. However, Hoffman's interpretive asides help give context and meaning to the tales, and Morris's illustrations, which clearly set the stories in the Middle East, are handsome.
