Adventure on Klickitat Island

(4) K-3 During a nighttime thunderstorm, a boy and his teddy bear row over to Klickitat Island, heeding a cry for help from the scared animals. After building a sturdy fort, they all fall safely asleep under the boy's "blankie." The illustrations, which feature smiling animals, have more appeal than the sentimental, singsongy, rhyming text.
