Meet at the Ark at Eight

(4) 1-3 Translated by Helena Ragg-Kirkby. Illustrated by Jörg Mühle. A pair of penguins smuggle a third penguin aboard Noah's Ark. This deceptively simple book is at various times funny, confusing, slight, and thought-provoking. The author raises issues, not entirely successfully, including why a loving God would decide to drown most of the creatures in the world. The black-and-white cartoon illustrations contribute to the humor and light tone.
