Why Dogs Have Wet Noses

32 pp. | Enchanted Lion | July, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59270-173-5 $17.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Øyvind Torseter. In this quirky secular version of "Noah's Ark" from Norway, Noah gathers "as many creatures as he could" (not in pairs, but the story isn't concerned with that matter). When the ark springs a leak, his dog's nose serves as the plug, ensuring that all dogs henceforth shall have wet noses. The cutaway cartoon illustrations show animals playing cards, eating, and making merry.
