With stunning artwork and a rhyming text, the illustrator of the
Mercy Watson books tells a tale of human-animal connection full of
humor and heart.
When a circus ship runs aground off the coast of Maine, the poor
animals are left on their own to swim the chilly waters. Staggering
onto a nearby island, they soon win over the wary townspeople with
their kind, courageous ways. So well do the critters blend in that
when the greedy circus owner returns to claim them, villagers of
all species conspire to outsmart the bloated blowhard. With buoyant
rhymes and brilliantly caricatured illustrations evoking the early
nineteenth century, Chris Van Dusen presents a hugely entertaining
tale about the bonds of community -- and a rare hidden-pictures
spread for eagle-eyed readers of all ages.
