Mannie is going on an adventure. She’s taking her favorite elephant Lilliput and her doll Strawberry Luca. And she hasn’t forgotten her special box of secret things, just in case the adventure gets adventurous. “Wait a minute! What’s in the box?” Everything they need to go skip trip skipping down the old rocky road, and splish splash splishing through the wild winding river. But then the sun hides behind a cloud, and it’s dark, cold, and quiet. “Wait a minute! What’s in the box?” Just what they need to make the sun come out and shine again.
