While trying to save a bear cub from drowning, Yakari falls into the river and hits his head on a rock. By the time he washes ashore and is found by a distraught bear mother, he has forgotten who he is. The she-bear is convinced that he is her son, turned into a human by the Bear Spirit, and begins to train him for his new life. Can Yakari's friends find him before he disappears into his new world for good?

Tormented Wolf, a warrior from Yakari's tribe, has an obsession: to take his revenge on the wolf who attacked and injured him three winters before. This wolf limps - Yakari has crossed the path of Three Legs. He is afraid, but a dream and the intervention of Great Eagle, his totem, encourage him to join the wolves. He will earn the trust of the pack's leader.

Another exciting addition to the cult Yakari series! In Yakari and the Stranger, there's panic amongst the beavers. A pelican, fiendishly sick with a cold, makes an emergency landing amongst them. Not only does he keep them all awake with his sneezes, but he's dying of hunger. Yakari and Little thunder bring him to the otters, who cram him with fish. The pelican puts on weight quickly, but his thundering cold persists!

A strange eagle has wounded a brave from Yakari's tribe and stolen his talisman. To recover it and allow the man to wake from his unnatural slumber, young Yakari will have to climb a mountain to find the eagle's nest. Forced to go alone when Little Thunder can't follow anymore, he will have to make new friends-with sure feet and warm coats-and brave the majestic bird's proud anger.

It's not everyday you meet a giant rabbit who can do magic...Nanabozo, the Great Rabbit, is...well, a giant rabbit. He's also a powerful sorcerer, and Rainbow's spirit guide, as Great Eagle is for Yakari. When he appears to the young Sioux to tell him his charge has disappeared, little Yakari is swept up in a quest that will make him turn into a giant, run on smoke, fly, and travel to the ice banks where the polar bears play.

Little Thunder answers a mysterious call and sets off on a quest-alone. Little Thunder is quite an astounding pony, and he and Yakari truly are the best of friends. So when upon waking up one morning, he discovers that his mount has left the village, the young Sioux boy is devastated. He tries to find his friend, but is forced to give up as the trail grows cold: whatever it is that drives Little Thunder, he's heading due south as fast as he can. What is it that calls out to him?

Yakari discovers the joys and the dangers of living underground. Yakari wakes up one morning to find a series of arrows forming a trail. Following it, he soon finds himself the exasperated victim of pranks, mockeries and other vexing tomfoolery by an unknown bear cub. The young joker s hideout is a massive burrow, with multiple galleries and entrances. It s all very innocent and tame, but even the most harmless of pranks can turn dangerous when bad luck strikes...

After a hunt that brought the tribe much needed supplies, Yakari is visited in his dreams by the buffalo, killed the day of his birth, whose pelt still serves as his blanket. Intrigued, the young Sioux and Little Thunder go see the great herd. From encounter to encounter, and by helping a young mother and her newborn calf against a particularly nasty wolf, Yakari learns to know those majestic animals so important to his own people's survival...

Yakari is a little Indian, courageous and generous, whose happy life all children would like to share. Astride Little Thunder, his faithful mustang, Yakari gallops across the Great Prairie, where people and animals live in harmony and migrate according to the seasons. Endowed with the wonderful ability to talk with all the animals, Yakari comes to know their way of life and their environment.

Yakari discovers a colony of beavers busy building their dam. There we find Thousand-mouths, the short-tempered building site boss; Dam-of-Wood, the smiling old wise man; Wooden-Bed, the sleepyhead; Double-Tooth, the eternally inspired sculptor...and last but not least Little Lime Tree, a lively kid. While they are bathing, this infernal little beaver disappears. Yakari will find him.
