Once upon a time there was a huge forest and all kinds of animals and birds lived happily there. But a strange sadness came over the forest and it began to die. So the animals flew away in Professor Noah's amazing spaceship in search of another world.
My rating is for Wildsmith's artwork only, as I hate the idea of this book: destroy one planet, start again on another. In this case, the innocent animals are suffering the effects of man's pollution, so Professor Noah (Let's hope he's a better man than the biblical one.) takes them all on a magic, mystical rocket ride to a pure, uncontaminated planet.
I'm really not sure what kids would think of this one . . .
This book is so fun and creative! It's a retelling of Noah's Ark, but with a spaceship, and the animals taking on a bigger role. My five-year-old loved it. Highly recommended!
Absolutely brilliant and beautiful. An interesting, science-fiction twist on the Noah's Ark Bible story. LOVE the artwork! Brain Wildsmith is a genius. I don't know how in the world I didn't know about his work until very recently. I am quickly making up for lost time by reading everything he ever wrote/illustrated! AMAZING stuff!
