The Coati's Compass

Coco is a young coati with reddish-brown fur and a long ringed tail, and her restless curiosity keeps her moving through the lush rainforest she calls home. In her small leaf-green satchel she carries a mysterious compass found long ago by the river. When she shows it to her friend Tato, a calm and careful tamandua, the needle spins and then points deep into the forest, so the two set off together to see where it leads.

Their route is seldom easy: a path splitting three ways, a fast stream in their way, a clearing with hidden holes under the tall grass, and a sagging bridge over a deep gully. Coco's quick eyes and eager energy meet Tato's patient caution at every turn, each of them finding what the other cannot. Written by Aysel Banu YAVUZAL, this gentle animal adventure can be read on Masal İzle and suits read-aloud sessions or early readers exploring friendship and teamwork.
