Krensky retells the story of Noah's ark as a pourquoi tale to explain why each animal makes its own special sound. The narration includes plenty of animal noises and a hearty dose of humor. The vibrant figures in the illustrations suit the lively text, especially when the critters make the "wrong" sounds (e.g., snakes saying "quack").
