Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 3 Up. Young's fans will welcome this collection of stunning abstract meditations on the Creation. On each right-hand page, areas of soft-textured, deep-hued color emerge from a black background; text is printed in white on an all-black facing page. Moving over the sensuous expanse of brilliant color, the eye begins to pick out a wing, an ear, a fin, a tusk. The forms are not amorphous, but they are suggested rather than delineated. As the Creation proceeds at its stately King James pace, the figures become more detailed, and shape begins to dominate: on the final page, there is no black background at all, and the text is superimposed on the illustration. Literal-minded readers may object: creatures appear out of their biblical order (e.g., several animals can be discerned before the fifth or sixth day). Nevertheless, this is a gorgeous depiction of creative energy, as both artistic interpretation and on-going process.?Patricia (Dooley) Lothrop Green, St. George's School, Newport, RI

From Booklist

Ages 5^-8. Based on the King James Version of Genesis, this picture book interprets the Creation story through familiar words and impressionistic artwork. As light emerges from the darkness, so forms emerge from the pictures. These are generally animals, suddenly visible as eyes make sense of the obscure, sometimes contradictory, yet eventually meaningful shapes created with lines and shadings of colors on each page. Greater distance from the page helps in making sense of the pictures, but in any case, older children will find the pictures more meaningful than preschoolers will. In the author's note, Young comments on his interpretation and on the endpapers (not seen in galley), which feature the names of extinct and endangered animals. A distinctive vision of the Creation.
