Author Description

The grown-ups are cleaning house and young Whims Wiggin is sent out in the yard to play. Imagine how delighted Whims is when animal playmates arrive, one after another. First a moose, then a loon, followed by a woodpecker, lynx, bear, caterpillar, bat, beaver and otters. Whims has an adventurous morning, and the reader just knows more animals will appear after lunch. Everything a child loves in a book is here - spunky animals, a child to identify with, the rhythm and rhyme of poems, and pictures in which there is something new to discover with each reading.
