博客來In The Long Story of Mount Pester, Book One of this omnibus, the Prince of Pesterville has disappeared and four reluctant Ditch Diggers journey across a strange land to stop the volcano Mount Pester from erupting and covering the little town of Pesterville with lava. HoneyMoon, a large lizard, Majah, his sweet friend and a lizard of equal proportion, and Nibeelius, a scientific boy, want nothing to do with the adventure. Their companion Rudy, a chatty, rambunctious girlsquirrel, has something different in mind. Along the tenacious way, loyalty, trust, patience and love prevail.
But that’s not the end of the story! In The Long Story of Mount Pootzah, Mount Pester has disappeared into the imagination and the Prince of Pesterville has been rescued. He returns to the little town of Pesterville to excavate the PesterPop Factory and continue production of those scrumptious candies known as PesterPops. But now Mount Pootzah, the mysterious volcano behind Mount Pester, belches smoke and threatens the safety of the town. Once again our four reluctant Ditch Diggers must travel on a quest to solve the terrible mystery of Mount Pootzah. Some of the magical creatures they meet along the way wish to help out---but others have something far different in mind!
The Complete Long Stories joyfully invites readers to join the author and illustrator on an epic journey into imagination. A timeless read-aloud that speaks to young readers’ fascination with magical creatures along with the supreme importance of candy, this is a book that will bring reading pleasure to parents, children, teachers and caregivers alike.
This omnibus edition includes an afterword detailing how the Long Stories came to be.
