The Night Iguana Left Home

32 pp. | DK Ink/Jackson | September, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-7894-2581-5 $$15.95
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Ponder Goembel. When Iguana's dewlap droops and her skin peels, she decides it's time to leave her comfortable life with her human friend and "almost sister," Alison Frogley. Iguana heads to Key West, where she enjoys the high life until her luck and allowance run out. Text and illustrations contain a slyly humorous balance of fantasy and realism, making the surreal seem plausible. Iguana is a well-developed character on an intriguing odyssey.
