This handsome guidebook provides "documentation" of the author's journey to a magical island paradise. Gorgeously detailed illustrations depict such wonders as the pasta tree, the Double-Cream Cow, the Screaming Night Moth, and doll-like, cloven-footed inhabitants. This visual treat may be a jumping-off point for kids to create their own worlds of wonder.
