Reviews"[T]his thoughtfully designed book deserves attention and a place on the crowded shelf of Noah's Ark retellings."-- "Kirkus Reviews" (1/15/2015 12:00:00 AM) "A visually rich, majestic version of the familiar story."--Carolyn Phelan "Booklist" "Recounting the Great Flood by using several centuries' worth of images, many from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a terrific idea, and much in these pages rewards close viewing."-- "Publishers Weekly" (2/23/2015 12:00:00 AM)
