What are the porcine inhabitants of a tiny desert island to do when their fresh water supply is nearly gone? Set off in search of an iceberg, of course! With nary a word, Geisert's whimsical book tracks the plight and triumph of his thirsty, heat-plagued characters. His trademark illustrations, full of detailed line work and lots of gentle humor, fully convey the robust, inventive narrative.
