A Pinecone!

"Fully and funnily realizing the comedic potential of a child's single-mindedness, the work also provides a model for rolling with the p . . . inecones." -Publishers Weekly Daddy is a bit distracted on their autumn walk, while his curious child only has eyes for one of nature's small wonders: a pinecone! And look, another pinecone! And another! In fact, she could gather an entire collection-an entire extended family-of pinecones if she wanted to (and she wants to!). But what then? In a story spun with visual comedy, the characters from Off-Limits return for a small adventure in outsize enthusiasm leading to a sparkly, holiday-cheer-worthy finish. Helen Yoon brings all her quirky warmth to bear on this tribute to little ones whose fixations tend to send them over the top-and the parents who lovingly help them to funnel all that passionate energy. And perhaps some of their own!
