Description

When Noah receives a warning that a world-shaking flood is on its way, he sets out to build an enormous ark in the middle of the pasture. His neighbors laugh, his workers cause trouble, and even the finished ship requires tar, paint, and plenty of patience. Noah is determined to be ready, whatever anyone else may think.

The real challenge begins when he gathers the animals two by two. Reluctant creatures debate whether the forecast calls for anything more than a shower, while cats, mice, foxes, geese, hounds, and hares bring their old quarrels aboard. Soon Noah is trying to manage a noisy, unruly procession of beasts, birds, and creeping things—including dinosaurs that prove far too large for the door.

With playful humor and lively scenes, this imaginative retelling presents the familiar ark story as a comic adventure about preparation, confusion, stubbornness, and cooperation. It is a charming choice for listeners who enjoy classic tales with a mischievous twist and a parade of unforgettable animals.
