Then Bee saw Bear. 'Follow me!' cried Bee./ 'To where?' asked Bear./ 'You'll see,' cried Bee."" And we do at last, but not until Bee, outfitted with umbrella, rubber boots and a yellow rain hat, buzzes through a flooded countryside collecting not only Bear but also, one by one, Calf, Pig, Duck, Mouse, Rabbit, Frog, Turtle and Possum. Their destination, it turns out, is Goat's boat--as pictured with Wallner's soft crayoned precision, a cozy side-wheeler home. There ""at last they were safe,/ thanks to Bee who cried,/ 'Follow me!'"" An offbeat, idiosyncratic Noah, but without his prototype's mythic resonance or human interest.
