Overview

An introduction to earthquakes and animals native to California, this beautifully illustrated and humorous tale teaches young children about some of nature's creatures and the cause of earthquakes. The crow, grizzly bear, king snake, mountain lion, and tule elk experience an earthquake and then discuss what happened. Finally, the wise condor, who has seen a few things in his long life, explains the true cause of earthquakes and the animals return to their respective habitats.
