After a long rainy spell, large stretches of the prairie are flooded, much to the displeasure of most of its inhabitants. Yakari visits his friends to make sure everyone is all right, then falls asleep that night and dreams of clouds mysteriously coming out of the water. The young Sioux’s dreams are not always completely random, though, and the next day he rides out in search of signs. What he will find will soon unite all his friends in a desperate rescue mission …

There are some very nice touches in this book. The threat of rising flood water and the risk to animals as well as humans is something that gives Yakari some bad dreams. As he does his patrol he comes across a newcomer -a whale and then the fun starts -until things turn into a race to save the whale!

This is a fun read for kids but also a valuable lesson in wildlife and the environment and not done with concrete boots.
