Favorite Features -
- I love the colorful, detailed illustrations.
- The story does drag a bit here and there, but I do like the message about family, acceptance, and how love remains.
Tundra Books says, "An American Library Association Notable Children's Book
Follow perfect pet Barnaby on his perilous journey home through bustling streets, mysterious alleyways, and the untamed wilds of city parks in this gorgeously illustrated tale of friendship, unconditional love and belonging.
A stunning, standalone picture book set in the world of The Barnabus Project from New York Times bestselling creators The Fan Brothers, joined by their brother Devin Fan.
Meet Barnaby: he's half mouse and half elephant, with just a dash of flamingo . . . and fully trained!
When he's brought home to be pampered and cared for by his very own little girl, life is perfect . . . until a new, even more perfect pet comes on the scene. Suddenly Barnaby is no longer the most perfect pet around, and his little girl doesn't seem interested in him anymore. Feeling unappreciated, Barnaby runs away and finds himself swept up on a wild journey through the city and an emotional search for home in a tale of love found, lost and found again.
In a poignant follow-up to their award-winning, internationally bestselling picture book The Barnabus Project, The Fan Brothers and their brother Devin Fan have once again crafted a heartfelt and sweetly sensitive story full of adventure, friendship and family that will enchant readers of all ages."
Children will enjoy "meeting" Barnaby and will want to see what happens and how the story ends - they will enjoy the ending for sure!
