PUBLISHERS' NOTICE.
THE FLOOD - THE FLOOD.
I. THE WICKEDNESS OF MAN.
II. GOD IS PROVOKED.
III. NOAH AND HIS FAMILY.
A lovingly illustrated volume from a classic series of Old‑Testament tales, this story brings the ancient narrative to life with gentle rhyme and vivid language that invites young listeners to imagine a world long ago. The verses flow like a soft chant, making the moral lessons feel natural rather than forced, while the accompanying artwork adds color to each scene.
The book opens by painting a picture of a world drifting far from kindness, describing how humanity’s growing selfishness and ingratitude troubled the Creator. It then introduces a solitary figure of quiet faith—Noah—whose steadfast devotion sets him apart. As the divine warning of a coming deluge is announced, Noah’s family prepares to heed the call, learning what it means to trust and obey in the face of overwhelming change. This early portion sets the stage for a timeless tale of responsibility, hope, and the promise of renewal.
