Noah's Ark is a picture book written and illustrated by Peter Spier, first published by Doubleday in 1977. The text includes Spier's translation of "The Flood" by Jacobus Revius, a 17th-century poem telling the Bible story of Noah's Ark. According to Kirkus Reviews, the poem comprises sixty three-syllable lines such as "Pair by pair" (in translation). "Without revising or even enlarging on the old story, Spier fills it in, delightfully."^[1]

For Noah's Ark Spier won the 1978 Caldecott Medal for illustration^[2] and the 1982 National Book Award for Children's Books in category Picture Books (paperback).^[3]^{[lower-alpha 1]}
