In this playful retelling of a traditional Ojibwe folktale, Michael Spooner and Lolita Taylor have captured the spirit of the mischievous, lovable trickster turtle Old Meshikee. Drastic measures are called for when Old Meshikee plays his drums so loudly that the little sand crabs can&&&^t hear themselves think. The frantic crabs decide to get rid of the old turtle once and for all--but that proves more difficult than they had planned. Full color.
