Penelope is rainy-day bored. Her father asks what she would do if she had her "druthers," and Penelope decides she would go to the zoo...be a pirate captain...fly to the moon. At each suggestion, Daddy joins enthusiastically in her imaginative play. Phelan captures the duo's affectionate relationship in expressive ink and watercolor illustrations, alternating between character-revealing vignettes and action-packed double-page spreads.
