The Day Ocean Came to Visit

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Steve Johnson & Lou Fancher. In this Nigerian folktale, Sun invites Ocean to visit him and Moon in their bamboo house on earth, but although Sun makes the house much bigger, Ocean still overflows everything, forcing Sun and Moon to jump up and live in the sky. The tale is well paced and well told, and the dreamy, muted oil illustrations show intriguing details.
