PreS-Gr 4Lewis retells the story of Noah's Ark with uneven results. His unrhymed verse is forceful and effective, while the rhymed verse (which makes up most of the text) is less successful: "The weasel's wife, to pass the time,/Pretended to make hay,/But listened carefully to what/The magpies had to say,/Which was to tell the ostriches,/`You shouldn't think it odd,/But Captain Noah means to do/The handiwork of God.'" The light tone seems inappropriate for the story, and the rhymes occasionally seem forced. Cartwright's oil paintings are distinctive and original, with graceful lines, layers of color, and repeating patterns. But they, too, convey a lighter mood than seems suitable, and the faces (of both humans and animals) are not especially expressive. With so many outstanding Noahs available, such as Arthur Geisert's simple, naturalistic retelling, The Ark (Houghton, 1988); Isabelle Brent's Noah's Ark (Little, Brown, 1992); and Jane Ray's Noah's Ark (Dutton, 1990), this interesting but flawed version is best left to large collections.Lauralyn Persson, Wilmette Public Library, IL (c) Copyright 2010.

出版社周刊评论
The tale of Noah and the Ark, arguably the Bible story best known by children, receives an unusual makeover at Lewis's (Earth Verses and Water Rhymes) poetic hand. Noah's selection by God to captain an ark of animals, "two of every kind," through the great flood leads off an elaborate collection of poems that form a careful narrative. Lewis employs a wide variety of rhyme scheme and stanza length to convey the bustling energy of preparation as well as the monotony of being too long at sea and the joy of first sighting dry land. The vocabulary and phrasing ranges from silly to challenging, providing youngsters with plenty of fun as well as food for thought. Cartwright's stylized oils, awash in gentle earth tones, depict Noah and the beasts as one big happy family. Kind-faced creatures and chunkily drawn humans offer an understated air of fantasy to this rendition. Ages 6-10. (Feb.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved

This series of poems describes how Noah and his family loaded the ark with a 'cruising zoo' and survived the flood. The style of poems, many with quiet humor, varies from page to page, adding interest to the familiar story. Although Cartwright's stylized paintings have somber rainy weather colors, the animals provide bright highlights, and the compositions and facial expressions give them a cheerful feel.

Kirkus评论
The story of Noah, told in episodic verse. Lewis (Black Swan/White Crow, 1995, etc.) takes a turn at biblical, ballad-like poetry; paired with its own illustration, each poem follows a different rhyme scheme (the many rooms of the title), a novel idea for a collection that tells a single story, but one that fragments the overall tale rather than uniting its many facets. The drama of the story is supplanted by the form, which diverts attention away from actions and events. In the same vein as Birds, Beasts and Fishes (1991), Cartwright's highly stylized oil paintings depict a white-bearded Noah amidst crowds of smiling animals on each mural- like page.

Ages 5^-8. Noah's Ark is probably the biblical story most retold in picture books. Does your library need another one? It's hard to say no when the offering is this attractive. Cartwright's oil paintings are the main draw, having a thickness and dimension that lend an air of substantiality to Noah and his family, both human and animal. But there's plenty of room in the pictures for fun as well, especially in the scenes that are crowded with animals. The poetry, at times, also captures the humor: "Mr. and Mrs. Mole, would you / share a room with the kinkajou?" But the text is long, and Lewis sometimes strains for a rhyme, and changes in the rhyme scheme might make this a tough read-aloud. Still, Lewis provides some very nice images, which, when combined with the art, make this a Noah's Ark that should appeal to the older end of the picture-book set. --Ilene Cooper
