At the end of the last book, Roz was taken away to the factory where she was built to be studied and hopefully repaired.
But things do not go well for Roz and she escapes to try to return to her far-away island and her animal friends. Because she has learned the language of animals she makes an interesting journey with the help of the new friends she meets along the way.
I was swept up, once again, by Peter Brown’s delightful prose and by his lovely artwork. This is what books were like when I grew up and I do miss the blending of art and story in my readings as an adult.
Sure it’s a kid’s book but it is very intelligent and never talks down to the reader. I was impressed by the author’s ability to challenge without intimidating a young reader.
This is the kind of book that you’ll want to purchase in paper-form. It must be held to be enjoyed - and it must be shared.
Highly recommended.
