As a christian I understand the importance of respect. I believe this book can be accepted by all, it never calls out a specific god or person by name, therefore can be enjoyed regardless.

This book was about how many places on Earth flooded and animals needed help. This story resembled Noah's Arch without using the name. It could be used to teach about Noah's Arch or also to explain about the natural disaster of flooding.
