The Animals' Ark

Rescue! The smiling captain, Mr. Noah, invites them aboard, two by two. At first, the animals enjoy finding ways to amuse themselves: the sheep play leapfrog, the ladybugs play dominoes, a chameleon plays hide-and-seek. But as it continues to rain and rain and rain, the animals start to get on each other's nerves. And all of them are wondering, will the rain ever stop? This creative and child-friendly version of the well-known story will delight young readers with its fun and engaging illustrations, and it provides the perfect start to discussions about cooperation, respect and kindness.
