SAILAWAY HOME

by Bruce Degen ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 1, 1996

The fantastic adventures of a little pig who ""leaves"" his parents in order to fight pirates, to fly on a butterfly, and to ""Sailaway, sailaway,/Over the foam./Blow with the gale away,/Bail with a pail away,/Hitch to a whale, and then/Sailaway home."" The rhymes always follow the same short and bouncy pattern; the animals look like toys, and the adventures are always rooted in a domestic setting. Degen's characteristically colorful illustrations look effortless but display real craftsmanship and are quietly inventive. Perfect for toddlers showing their first signs of independence.
