Summary: The Legend of Mackinac Island
Comment: This book is based on the Native American legend of how Mackinac island was formed. It says that long ago, when the waters covered the Earth, and the animals lived happily on the water. The wisest, oldest, and largest painted turtle of them all was Makinauk. one day he came and told the other animals that the Great Spirit of the Sky wanted land to be made, so one of the animals had to go to the bottom of the Ocean, bring back a handful of sand, and place it on Makinauk's back. Can the animals do it? Read this wonderful story written by Kathy-jo Wargin and illustrated by Gijsbert van Frankenhuyzen to find out!

Summary: This book is a work of Art in both ways!
Comment: I was very surprised when I picked up this book. The writer did a very good job of telling her version of how Mackinac Island was made. I loved the illustrator, too. The story of the Great Turtle to many children is very fasinating. My grandchildren love me to read it to them over and over again! The Legend of Sleeping Bear Dunes was not as good as this book.

Summary: Vivid Myth
Comment: *Beautiful* illustrations. That must be said from the start. These are the kind of skies you dream about. And Wargin makes the animals come alive as they battle to assist Old Turtle in bringing up a clump of earth from deep below the waters. That the lowly muskrat is the one to succeed is predictable but pleasing- sharing the message with children that the least of all becomes the greatest. Perhaps the best part though is the end, when Old Turtle dies to himself in order to create the promised land of Mackinac for the animals. Make sure to read this out loud to your children, and with the right voices- old turtles have to sound very grouchy and very kind!
