The special needs unit picked Why Noah Chose the Dove, written by Isaac Bashevis Singer and illustrated by Eric Carle, as the basis for its project. The unit caters for ten children with complex needs, the most significant of which is communication.
The book, which tells of how the animals jostle for places on the ark, is out of print in this country but it should still be available in schools' and other libraries. If you can't track down a copy, then use the Noah story and the Nursery World poster as a basis for your project.
