The artwork was very well illustrated, however, there were some inaccuracies within the story. For example, it is not biblical to state that Noah was a Dr. Doolittle, capable of speaking with the animals. Also, there is nothing in the Tanakh/Old Testament that tells us that Biblical characters were, in fact, cartoons. Despite the illustrations being very well done, I find it completely dangerous for authors and artists to try to deem how characters looked. I don't think that the frogs had eyes as big as can be found within these pages. Also, according to a Google search, umbrellas were not invented until 1852, so to imply that Noah had time travel capabilities is just ridiculous. There were also a bunch of black spots all over the copy I have, and I practically flung myself to the hand soap; and just for good measure, I pirouetted over to the hand sanitizer. All in all, a cute re-telling, but incredibly against Biblical teaching.

I'm totally kidding. It was cute.
