The narrator of this story thinks that there’s nothing to do on his little round island, which he shares with a wolf, two cats, three ants, and a bat. But all around him, fantastic events are taking place—it’s just that the boy and his friends are always looking in the wrong direction. Marie-Louise Gay’s signature style brings delight and whimsy to every page. “A masterpiece.... Gay’s [picture books] are completely invigorating and accessible to their young audience, providing a rich literary experience that nourishes both intellect and emotion.” — Toronto Star
