In this rhyming tale filled with vivid, expressive illustrations, fifteen circus animals are traveling by ship with their ill-tempered owner when the ship crashes in a storm. The animals surface on an island, where the residents are shocked and skeptical of the animals until an emergency proves their value. When the mean owner wants the animals back, how will the townspeople hide them? This is a fun read, full of bright, playful illustrations.
