When racing pigeon Gary, who cannot fly but dreams of adventure, inadvertently accompanies the real racers to a big city, he has no way to return home. Fortunately, he has his travel scrapbook with him, and through maps and pictures Gary plots a way home on multiple modes of transportation. Rudge's soft mixed-media illustrations cleverly incorporate travel memorabilia into Gary's satisfying story arc.

Pet-store dog Ted sets off to find "somewhere perfect." He tries a circus, a pet pageant, and being a guard dog, but is passed over every time. In a funny twist, the perfect place for Ted turns out to be a "puuuurrrrrfect" place. Rudge's soft illustrations in pencil, ink, and collage feature many patterns and amusing details.
