Summary: Delightful story, delightful pictures
Review: This is a wonderful book in which a wide array of animals try to show why they should be allowed on the ark: the elephant argues his strength should save him; the fox, his cleverness; the donkey argues that he is more clever; the skunk, his odor ... Finally, Noah tells them he is to save them all. But the dove who did not brag will be his special messenger.This is a delightful book that reader and listener will both enjoy.

Summary: Magical Tale of how the humble Dove became Peace Symbol
Review: This simple story teaches a lesson in humility. Although all of the animals in the day of the Great Flood had unique qualities, above all the dove was chosen by Noah to be the messanger of Peace and new life. Demonstrating meekness and humility, the dove did not brag about being "better" than the other animals. Instead she waited her turn, certain that a useful assignment would be found for her. What a heart warming message for children! The beautiful illustrations add to the magic touch of this enchanting children's book. I would recommend it as a gift for an early reader (up to age 8), or as a story to tell to a smaller child (age 2 to 5).*****

Summary: "Why are you silent?" Noah asked the dove.
Review: When the people of the world sinned, and God chose the only righteous man, Noah, to build an ark, all of the animals gathered around. They, however, believed that Noah would only pick best of all the living creatures. The animals began to boast and argue amongst each other. "I am the largest," said the Elephant. "I am man's best friend," replied the dog. They argued and argued.
Noah noticed one lonely bird sitting in a tree. Noah asked the small, white dove why he did not boast. The Dove replied that he believed that everyone has something special, that another doesn't. Though, all are equally created by God.
Noah took all of the animals on the ark, but when he needed a `messenger' to see if the waters were going down, the one he chose was the dove. The dove is a bird of humility and peace.
I believe that this story is good for those of all ages. It teaches a lesson to all; we are all equally created. People should remain humble.
It is excellently written and has amazing illustrations. I recommend this story to all. It is definitely worth reading.
