I requested this book, expecting a creatively written book that while is based on the Biblical story of Noah's Ark would more than likely be mostly fiction. Well, it was in fact fiction but the only thing based on the Biblical account was the existence of an ark, the coming of a flood, and that Noah was part of the story. Yes, the story did raise some questions about God, but after bringing up the question there was no guidance or direction given to the reader. Noah was portrayed as a feeble, lazy old man which didn't feel right, and there were parts that just really rubbed me the wrong way. Sadly, I can not in good conscience recommend this book, nor will I be able to place the book on my children's shelves. I really had hoped for a cute story of Noah's Ark from the perspective of a couple of penguins, instead I got a theologically troubling, largely inaccurate portrayal of a very popular Bible story, and some troubling interactions between penguins and pigeons.
