Reviews
Curriculum Connections, School Library Journal...
“…a perfect blend of narration, music and animal sounds."
Catholic Library World...
“Of particular interest with this story is its relevance to today’s concern for the earth and all earth’s creatures.”
2004 ALA Notable Recordings Committee...
“Original dramatic music, animal sound effects, and the thundering voice of God enhance Jerry Pinkney's striking interpretation of this Old Testament favorite. Narrator Dennis Haysbert masterfully and subtly shifts his intonation to convey God's displeasure with wickedness on Earth, His love of Noah and his family, and the story's hopeful conclusion.”
