by Holly Hobbie Toot is off to the wilds of Borneo. He's looking for adventure and exotic plants. Cousin Opal arrives to keep Puddle company. Toot meets some wild pigs and finds a hairy indigo mud lily, but when he gets stung, he catches the violet virus and heads home. When Toot arrives, Opal and Puddle meet a pig of a different color. What can they do to make Toot feel pink and healthy again? Toot and Puddle are engaging characters. Their adventures are minimal, yet entertaining. This story is short in length, but the unusual subject and made-up words, like "Slimecap Stinkhorn" and "Violet Virus," make it seem bigger than life. The illustrations are shy of detail, but have enough color and humorous scenes to earn plenty of smiles. The Toot and Puddles series is destined to be as acclaimed as Winnie the Pooh, Babar the Elephant, and Curious George. |
