Discover how Old Turtle brings peace to all the beings of the world in this classic fable of respect for the earth and the diverse human family. A well- designed book with dreamlike watercolors tells of an ancient time when the animals argued about God's attributes. Old Turtle ends the disagreement by assuring them they are all correct. Humans then begin to pollute the earth until one day they finally see the beauty of God in creation.

An extraordinarily different story by Robert Munsch is a gentle affirmation of the love a parent feels for their child--forever. Sheila McGraw's soft and colorful pastels perfectly complement the sentiment of the book--one that will be read repeatedly for years.

The phenomenal success of this little book is partly due to the people who give it to a loved one, as an expression of their feelings.

Busy, colorful pages follow a family's visit to a bustling aquarium and explain the creatures and features of various special exhibits. A tropical coral reef, penguins, a giant kelp forest, feeding time, sharks, a hands-on tidal pool, a tropical rain forest, freshwater fish, an alligator, the marine animals of the bay, and trained dolphins are among the profusion of scenes. The dominant blues and greens of Aliki's watercolors are not only cool and inviting; they also provide visual continuity amid the riot of brightly colored fish.

The alligator under his bed makes a boy's bedtime hazardous operation, until he lures it out of the house and into the garage.
