Description
We all know the story of Noah’s Ark. But do we? In this gleeful twist on the original tale, Noah has a brother, Neil – and Noah and Neil are very different. Noah is wealthy and a bit of a show-off. Neil hums songs about peace. Noah brokers deals with a tense frown, while Neil wears his hair long and chats dreamily to pot plants. When it rains for forty days and forty nights, the race to find land is on: brother on brother, ark on boat, rack of lamb on bean. Sue deGennaro’s inventive and charming artwork perfectly complements Kim Kane’s delightfully clever story of deepest darkest ark rivalry.
