Lake stories from different animals: Styles Brainstorming

Topic:
My storybook will be about different animals adventures at the lake. After researching there seems to be a lot of great stories that include lakes, even stories with animals as the characters. I found two stories that I believe I would like to include: How Raven stole the lake and How the Turtle saved his own life. The untextbook has so many great stories, especially when you search "lake". There were also many results on sacred texts. The story does not have to have an animal to begin with, that is the fun with storytelling. Being able to change a human character into an animal.

Possible Styles: Wow, there are so many styles to chose from. This was the most difficult part for me. 
Adventure: This is of course one of the main topics, the adventure that the animals are on. A possible adventure would be to find a new house, to meet new friends, or even just an adventure to see what is going on around them. There are many ideas of adventures, I think I will stick to something basic like relocating their home or just an adventure to see the nature (lake).

Animal Storytellers: This is more than likely the style that I will chose. It is the most practical, that the animals tell the story about their adventures at the lake. There would be dialogue between the animals, so you know how the animals are feeling. I would want the main animal from each story be the storyteller. This animal would tell the story in first person. 

The lake as the storyteller: This would be an interesting point of view. It would be how the lake sees, feels, and even hears the animals adventures. I think that the lake would be talking in third person about each of the animals, or could even tell it in first person to tell its point of view. For example, the lake could tell a story about how it saw the transformation of a tadpole to a turtle, then that story could be continued with the turtles point of view on how he convinced the mean people to bring him back to the lake (reference from story above).

Reality show of the animals: The stories could be turned into drama between all of the animals at the lake. They could talk about their love life, friendship, and enemies that they have in their world. The lake could be the main setting of the show and the animals would be the stars of the show.
