Snow and ice and ice and snow all around, and nothing for three
penguins to do but fight with each other and smell slightly of
fish. But are they good penguins or bad penguins? And if they're a
bit bad then what's the worst that... What? Building an ark? The
whole world is going to be flooded? Well! They should probably get
on that ark. Meet at the Ark at Eight is a delight: a funny, odd
and strangely moral story of three penguins, a plump,over-worked
dove, a beautiful butterfly that may or may not get done in, and
aquite apologetic God. ''Extremely funny ... I can only heartily
encourage you to read this [book, which] hides real delight and
serious philosophizing in between its slim, sensational pages.'
