Description
Said, "See, look here, loves,
I've winged my way further than you!"
A soaring brown hawk
Said, "Hey, you two dorks,
See me stick to the clouds here like glue!"
From the illustrator who brought you The Ricker Racker Club and The Dress-Up Box comes a picture book about a pack of arrogant characters in a race to the top, and a duck who cleverly brings them
back to reality.
