From Publishers Weekly
Perennially popular, the Noah's Ark genre continues to multiply. Leading the way is a crisp reissue as part of the publisher's program to bring back the works of Lois Lenski, that author/artist's pertly colored 1948 Mr. and Mrs. Noah resurfaces in a diminutive (5Ù" 4Ü") format that enhances the clothespin-doll-like quaintness of her characters. The child-friendly rendition gives major roles to Noah's sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth.

From the Inside Flap
Mr. and Mrs. Noah are told to build an ark. Together with their three sons—Shem, Ham, and Japheth—the family gathers two of each animal and saves them from the coming flood. Lois Lenski lends her unique voice and visual style to the classic Bible story, turning it into a fun family story that the youngest initiates of Noah's Ark will enjoy.
