"Under the sea, a crab follows its heart and its calling, bringing everyone together in the wake of a disaster"--

"When Frog and Goat turn a simple game into an all-out competition, things get out of hand...until finally, they're over it"--

Mr. Watson loves his three chickens, and every morning he and Mr. Nelson count them; but when they start to multiply, his house and tiny yard are soon overrun, and the noise and mess are driving Mr. Nelson crazy--so the couple set out to find a new home for the chickens.

After finding a map in a bottle, best friends Kondo and Kezumi build a boat and set out to explore the islands near their own.

"When Sharko calls for a boat, Hippo pulls out a goat. He wants a pole, but Hippo gives him a pail. And instead of bait, a beet and a boot! Hippo's coat pockets seem to have everything except what Sharko asks for!"--Jacket flap.

When best friends Kondo and Kezumi return home from their island adventures they discover something unexpected occupying their tower.
