Ogden Nash is in top form with this rollicking poem about an aardvark who boards a boat to escape the biblical flood. Arrogant and vain, Aardvark wins few friends among the other animals squeezed aboard the crowded vessel--until he uses his tongue to save the ark and all of its passengers. Nash's wit and whimsy shine through this re-imagining of Noah's Ark. The delightful illustrations by Wendy Wilson paired with Nash's quotable verse will put a twinkle in the eyes of the young and the young-at-heart alike.
