Breathing new life into traditional storytelling, David McLimans takes an exciting step into the world of folktales with another stunning visual feast. At the start of Big Turtle, the world only had two parts: the animals in the lower Water World and the people above in the Sky World. When Sky Girl falls to the sea, she is saved by two beautiful swans but is unable to return to her sky home. Big Turtle suggests building a new home for Sky Girl on his great shell using earth from the bottom of the sea, so Otter, Muskrat, and Beaver each attempt to reach the ocean's bottom. Only little Toad is able to bring enough earth to the surface to place on Big Turtle's back-creating a new world between the sea and sky for Sky Girl, who becomes the Earth's first person.

Big and Little are the very best of friends. They do everything together! That is until one day, when Big suddenly hides away inside his shell . . . Little tries every method to get Big to come out and play again—he bakes him his favorite cake, he even asks all of his friends for help—but nothing seems to be working! What could possibly be wrong?

Relates the tale in which the creation of the world was begun by the animals after a woman fell down to earth from the sky country, and how it was finished by her two sons, one who was good-spirited and another who was evil-spirited.

As Michaelangelo makes his way through the sewers on his nightly patrol, he hears odd noises and sees strange things. As young readers lift the flaps, they find out that the things that seemed scary are completely harmless. Full color.

I am Turtle. My eyes are black, my shell is green. Wide ocean calls me, as I lie curled in the dark. Tides roar in my blood, surf pounds in my heart. A lyrical journey of the life of a Green Turtle from hatchling beneath the sand of a coral beach, through wanderings at sea, to adulthood and returning to lay eggs of its own. Award winning illustrator Kim Toft's magnificent silk painting perfectly capture the precarious life of the Green Turtle, while author Alan Brown's poignant, mythical story sounds a hymn to this ancient but now endangered creature.

Follow the little red boat as it travels across many oceans. More than 60 sea animals glide through the pages of this journey.
