Noah's Ark

Noah's Ark by Cousins, Lucy. paperback edition. ISBN: 0732483005158.

A sturdy ark, animals two by two, and rain for forty days and forty nights—Lucy Cousins transforms these familiar biblical images to give them rich meaning for young children. She presents a visual feast of pink flamingos, green alligators, great gray elephants, and, of course, Noah, from his snowy white beard right down to his brown sandals. In her striking illustrations this ancient tale becomes immediately accessible to even the very young. Writing in the same bold and simple style that characterizes her artwork, Lucy Cousins makes the age-old story of Noah and his ark fresh and new and altogether irresistible.
