Illustrated by
Lorna Hussey.
Young pig Pigloo, "an explorer," plans to find the North Pole using his new sled. The watercolor and graphite illustrations, as well as hints in the present-tense text, make it clear this mission involves Pigloo's imagination. Humorous asides--"He has stores (that's what explorers call snacks) in his backpack"--add to the sense that young listeners are in on the joke.
