Product Info Reviews

Description:

"Down the road came Larky Mavis, mooning about, mooning about." She trips on three peanuts... and ends up eating two out of three. In the third she finds a tiny pink creature, small enough to fit in her hand. "'Well!' she said, laughing. 'I won't eat you!'" And whom exactly does the third peanut contain? We're not quite sure. The villagers call Mavis's blanket-wrapped bundle everything from a worm to a bat to (when it gets bigger) a turkey or a pig, but he remains her precious little baby that she calls Heart's Delight. As fear and curiosity build in the village, Mavis is forced to protect what is dearest to her. Or is it the other way around? Brock Cole, creator of the award-winning Buttons, will thoroughly charm young readers with this deliciously whimsical, pleasantly odd, happily ending story of the transcendent, transformative nature of love. (Ages 4 to 8) --Karin Snelson
