Chapter One
Grandpa Noah says that the rains are coming. Soon the land will be covered with water.
Grandpa Noah is building an ark for our family and the animals to live on until it stops raining.
The ark is ready.
The animals go in two by two.
Big animals thump and bump onto the ark.
Middle-sized animals clip-clop by. Small animals squeeze in.
Flying creatures perch on beams above.
Swimming animals splish-splash below.
It rains and it rains.

The animals push and shove each other.
The ark rocks back and forth like a giant cradle.
The animals fall asleep all jumbled in together.
