Synopsis

In the southern extremes on the island of Serendipity was a magical desert of silver sand. In the desert lived wonderful creatures -- camels with humps and wart hogs with bumps. Of special delight was an ostrich called Sniffles. Sniffles loved to run with the other ostriches, but more than running she loved to tell stories. The stories she told were little stories filled with big exaggerations. If she came upon a single purpled pansy in the dunes she would count it once, then twice, then thrice. Soon a single flower became a veritable meadow filled with purpled pansies. Her stories had become so filled with exaggerations that the truth was often lost in the telling of the story. And then, one day she really did experience a fantastical adventure. She tried to tell the story without lies or exaggeration, but none of the animals in the desert believed a single word that Sniffles said.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Stephen Cosgrove is one of the best-selling children's book authors of all time. His writing career began in 1973 when, while shopping at bookstores for his three-year-old daughter, he was frustrated by the lack of fun-to-read picture books that also convey positive values. Consequently, he decided to write his own stories. Cosgrove went on to create four titles that became the foundation of his best-selling Serendipity series, which has sold over 80 million copies worldwide. Since then, he has written more than 300 books, some under his own name and others using pseudonyms, ranging from picture books to young adult thrillers. The winner of the Coors Lumen Award for family values and multiple Children's Choice Awards, he lives in Austin, TX. Robin James is a gifted illustrator and a native of the Pacific Northwest. She has loved art and animals all her life and has been drawing ever since she could hold a pencil. Through the years, she has created a wide variety of artwork from animal portraits to wildlife paintings and has illustrated over 75 children's books, and is published worldwide. She lives in Snohomish, WA.
