"Luminous" --Kirkus Reviews
"Neither cute nor ingratiating, this rendition of the Bible favorite is one to inspire awe." -- Publishers Weekly
"Teeming with exotic animals, these images bring to mind the work of early masters such as Jan Brueghel." --School Library Journal
" In a series of beautiful oil paintings, Spirin illustrates the story of Noah's ark. Far less childlike than most interpretations, his skillfully rendered pictures of the ark, animals, storm, and flood are particularly accessible to older children. The scale of the illustrations is vast, encompassing dimly lit but exquisitely detailed cities, landscapes and seascapes. . . . A handsome, if somewhat somber, traditional interpretation of Noah's story." --Booklist
"[A] thought -and discussion-provoking choice for older children."--Horn Book
