The weatherman predicted rain. So Nora built an ark. Just like Noah. Well . . . Not just like Noah.
Noah welcomed a host of animals two-by-two. Nora’s passenger list includes two backyard spiders, a pair of battery-operated monkeys, and a couple of unimpressed cats. Nora also employs her little brother, some dusty wooden boxes, and a sizeable dose of contagious imagination in her distinctive re-creation of the timeless story of Noah’s Ark.
Charming and inventive, Nora’s big voyage, and its stirring conclusion, provide entertainment and inspiration for listeners of all ages.
