In a sweltering world, a community of pigs refuses to wilt under the sun. Driven by a thirst for change, they embark on a whimsical quest for ice. Their journey is a testament to ingenuity and resilience, filled with unexpected twists and architectural wonders. Will their adventurous spirit lead them to the cool relief they seek, or will they find something even more profound along the way? This wordless tale invites readers to explore a vibrant world where imagination knows no bounds.
A gorgeously rendered wordless tale of discovery and adventure that is meticulous in architectural detail and bursts with inventiveness. Arthur Geisert’s ingenuity engages the child’s imagination as well as the adult’s through seamless storytelling and zany wit. Invested as always in his porcine universe, here Geisert tells the story of a community of pigs that is suffering from the heat. Rather than be sapped of energy and miserable, they go on an adventure in search of ice. The pigs’ inventiveness and great can-do spirit create a joyful tale of change and adventure. The illustrations bring the action to life, making this a real page-turner and a great read-aloud book!
