We're All in the Same Boat

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jack E. Davis. With alphabetic aplomb, Shapiro's text describes the animals' restlessness on Noah's ark ("the giraffes were grumpy," "the llamas were livid"). When Noah, out of patience, shouts "We're all in the same boat!" the mood turns around, and the ark sails on "with a promise of peace." Davis's exaggerated cartoon illustrations suit the offbeat style of this creative takeoff on the Bible story.
