Once upon a time, the animals and birds lived happily in a
beautiful forest that provided for all their needs. Sadly,
pollution begins to destroy their shelter and food supply, and
their future looks bleak indeed. Fortunately, Wise Owl leads the
others to Professor Noah who is building a spaceship rather than a
boat like the first Noah did. The kind professor invites the
animals to blast-off with him to another planet in order to escape
the destruction of the forest. After traveling for forty days and
forty nights, the time guidance system is accidentally twisted in
reverse and the space travelers end up back on Earth in a pristine
forest just after the famous Noah's flood. Readers can make

Mother Wood Duck is very proud of her six beautiful new ducklings,
and she can't wait until they're old enough to learn to swim. When
that day arrives, her children prove to be excellent swimmers--all
except one, who does nothing but swim round and round in a circle.
No amount of complaining, scolding, or mocking by all the other
animals can stop his unhappy swimming in a circle. Thankfully, the
wise owl realizes that one of the duckling's feet is larger than
the other, causing his circular swimming. Then, one day, the little
duckling's special kind of swimming saves everyone from a hungry
fox and he becomes a hero. Brian Wildsmith's beautiful
illustrations and touching story will teach children an important
lesson about tolerance and individuality.
Woodpecker and Owl are neighbors but not friends. Owl does nothing
but complain about Woodpecker's pecking, which interrupts his
daytime sleeping. The feud between the two gets so big, and Owl's
temper so foul, that the other forest anilmals try to intercede --
to no avail. Even a pair of hard-working beavers gnawing away at
Owl's tree trunk won't get him to move. But Owl has an enormous
change of heart when Woodpecker's bravery -- and his pecking --
save Owl's life.
Hoping to start over, an old donkey leaves the farm to travel to Bremen where he will join a band. On the way, he meets a dog, a cat, and a rooster.
