The Littlest Pair

National Jewish Book Award, Children's Literature

The animals on Noah’s Ark watch a pair of termites - the "littlest pair“ - come aboard with absolute dismay. 

None of them want the wood-eating ants to stay, afraid that they will munch their Ark to pieces. But Noah insists, and as the rains begin, panic ensues for quite a different reason: the animals start to slip and slide all over the place! The little termites save the day, and Noah reminds the animals that no matter how different we are, we must all learn to get along, and each of us has something to contribute to others.
