“The building of the ark, the assembling of the animals, and the adventures of the voyage, are all made to yield their full measure of entertainment. The dinosaurs that had to be left behind because they were too big for the door, the host of other strange beasts ... that refused to go in and were therefore ‘doomed to be lost and become fossils,’ the other host that went in and, being tossed by the waves, regretted it ... all these episodes are pictured with remarkable expressiveness and a clever but never too extravagant caricature.... The plates are artistically reproduced in color.”—Dial.

[*] “Mr. Smith is too good a draughtsman to be side-splittingly comical, but he has a humorous imagination. His text is far less droll, and he should procure a literary running-mate for his next venture.”
