In his first book (Hank Finds an Egg), Hank, who resembles a stuffed-animal monkey-bear hybrid, found a lost egg in the woods; now he tells his hummingbird friend about a dream in which he flew. The dream itself doesn't dazzle, but it need not: its job is to set up the exquisite handcrafted dioramas, which show Hank floating in a one-of-a-kind balloon of Dudley's invention.

In this wordless offering, Hank finds an egg in the forest and spends the book's length trying to figure out how to return it to its nest. His noble efforts are relayed through impressive staged photographs in which Dudley has hand-crafted every element, from Hank (he resembles a stuffed animal) to the leaf blanket with which he warms himself in the woods.
