by Elana Azose, Book Buddy Digital Media (Read by)

Overview

Noah is building an ark and Lionel and Dolores, a pair of hedgehogs, are there to make sure the plan goes off without a hitch. "But you’re so tiny," Noah says, and goes to look for some big strong bears. Soon animals start arriving from all over the world, thanks to Dolores' idea to send out invitations. "We can help," says Lionel when the cats get scared on the waves. "You’re too prickly," Noah says, but the pair know just what to say to calm the others down. And, before Noah has a chance to think about it, they have a plan in the works for when the ark reaches dry land...

When a storm of biblical proportions looms, who will help Noah?

Noah gathers the animals together to announce that “a big rain is coming” and that he’ll build an ark for their safety. Lionel, a diminutive hedgehog, immediately offers his assistance. Noah dismisses Lionel (he’s too small to help, Noah claims) and says that he’ll seek help from the bears. Next morning, Noah doesn’t know how to alert the animals who live far away. “Already taken care of!” declares Lionel. Dolores, his hedgehog partner, sent them invitations. And so it goes: Noah repeatedly rejects help from Lionel and Dolores—sort of party planners/cruise directors. Happily, some animals pitch in with the ark building, but the labor doesn’t make them forget they’re hungry predators. Guess who forestalls that crisis—and also prevents the ark from overturning in giant waves? When the rain finally stops and the ark reaches dry land, Noah admits the hedgehogs have saved the day, sending readers the important message that even the smallest of creatures can be a huge help, especially when friends are in a jam. This new take on the Noah story will be welcome to those familiar with the tale and newcomers alike for its freshness and flashes of modern humor, particularly in the colorful, rollicking illustrations. All characters are expressive. Noah is light-skinned.

Proof that well-meant help, whether in big or small doses, is always appreciated, rain or shine. (Picture book. 4-7)
