Why Noah Chose the Dove by Isaac Bashevis Singer with Pictures by Eric Carle
When God decided to send the Great Flood, Noah and his family were to be saved. Noah built an ark, and all the animals gathered around the ship. Having heard that Noah would only rescue the best of them, they began competing with each other. Only the dove remained quiet.
The high school student Malka reads Isaac Bashevis Singer’s story, which is illustrated with pictures by Eric Carle.
