"This great storyteller has put a new and mildly moral twist on the story of Noah’s Ark . . . and Eric Carle does not disappoint. His cut-out portraits of the animals are colorful and vigorous, and, combined with his paintings, varied and provocative. This is good stuff for hungry little eyes" (The Boston Globe).
