"The book is a triumph, the definitive Noah's Ark."āPublishers Weekly
Winner of theĀ Caldecott Medal, an ALA Notable Children's Book, and aĀ New York TimesĀ Best Illustrated Book of the Year, Peter Spier'sĀ Noah's ArkĀ has been the iconic edition of this tale for over 40 years, in print continuously since its debut in 1977.
In Spier's imaginative retelling, readers witness the danger and the grandeur of the terrifying flood but also the lighter moments: Noah's wife jumping on a crate to avoid the rats; Noah shooing all but two bees from a busy hive; and all the animal babies being born in the spring. It's an illustration feat that's both majestic and tender.
