All Aboard the Ark: Which Animals Will Make It Onto Noah's Floating Zoo? - Hardcover

by Srimalie Bassani (Illustrator), Roger McGough (Author)

Cats and dogs and elephants
Slugs, leopards and lice
Giraffes and armadillos
Buffaloes, bedbugs and mice. . .

Fish will be able to fend for themselves
and besides, a wooden ark
is not the sort of place to keep
a whale or angry shark
