Minute details pepper each scene, giving sharp-eyed readers the chance to find something new every time they page through this book. . . True fans will find themselves poring over these pictures for hours. Epic storytelling erupts on the page without the use of a single word. Superb.
--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
This beguiling ark story, splendidly drafted in wordless spreads, stars a robot zookeeper who combines the spare-parts body of Wall-E with the gentle bearing of Amos McGee. . . underscores the power of practical measures, and holds out the promise of hope.
--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
This wordless picture book invites repeat readings to catch the intricate artistic details--clever and thoughtful decisions about color, perspective, and framing result in a visual treasure. The fact that everything centers on the zoo mirrors a sci-fi Noah's Ark that prioritizes saving what can be saved (indeed, the robot's only designation is "nöa" on its arm).
--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review)
The master of wordless picture books returns with this moving retelling of Noah's ark that speaks to an uncertain future.
--Foreword Reviews (starred review)
Becker's characteristically virtuosic ink and watercolor paintings offer much for young readers to pore over and peer at. . . Others will find the story and the questions it poses lingering long after the book is closed.
--The Horn Book
Wordless, yet carries a timely, vital message. Five years ago, I would have called this sci-fi. Today, I call it our reality. The wordless format will invoke such meaningful conversations among people of all ages.
--Lorie Barber, Anderson's Bookshop
