Dezert Isle (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781567922370)

Come to the wild and wacky DeZert Isle, where toys spring to life and the sun just may bump into the moon. Jules is a Zert. He lives on DeZert Isle with his best friend Ned the Nail, and he's in love with a brick. Jules's life is happy and busy; he has plenty of friends, lots of games to play, and sausages to tempt the brick of his dreams. But there are certain things he detests: being hammered by SledgeHead, being swallowed by BigMouths, and being captured by SmotherHen (why does she keep trying to hatch him?). Vibrantly colorful pictures offer a guided tour of Jules's marvelous world, a visit to the high life and occasional low points of a sun-drenched place where new friends are just around the corner and gifts are offered with an open heart--and where there's always enough hippopotamelon juice to go around.
DeZert Isle sees the world from a child's perspective; the improbable becomes the possible, and all things, even the most bizarre, have perfectly reasonable explanations--even being in love with a brick.
