Bored and lonely on her tropical island, Altoona Baboona takes off in a hot-air balloon-a, flying south to Cancun-a, then east to Rangoon-a. In this forced rhyme, Altoona finds a loon-a and a raccoon-a who go home to live with her. Illustrations done in digital pen and ink and watercolor have sketchy outlines and eye-catching colors appropriate to this active, silly adventure.
