Just Floating In: Lawn to Lawn by Dan Yaccarino
June 16th, 2010 by the1stdaughterAs many of you know Dan Yaccarino is one of our favorite Author/Illustrators. His artwork is always so appealing to both kiddos and adults alike. So, when I received another email from him letting me know about his latest book and new trailer, I knew I had to post about it.
Published by Knopf Books for Young Readers (An imprint of Random House, Inc.)
Publishers Summary: Not everyone loves lawn ornaments. But Pearl was different. Pearl was their friend—the only human who knew they were real.
So when Pearl’s family moves and (shockingly!) leaves their pink flamingo, deer, gnome, and lawn jockey behind, Flo, Betty, Norm, and Jack know what they must do. They must find Pearl no matter how long and perilous the journey.
Through cities and suburbs, over mountains and through swamps, the ornaments make their dangerous way. They survive storms and menacing gargoyles. They get directions from weather vanes and other statuary. And always, always, they must avoid the dreaded trash truck!
