CorebooksAs the rain falls with increasing intensity and the water rises, Mr Noah makes a list of all the animals he believes should sail in the ark he is building. He also has another list of all those creatures he thinks are troublesome and not worth saving. Mrs Noah watches what is happening and pursues her own agenda as poetic language and mixed media illustrations work together to create understanding in this new slant on a very old tale.
