Summary

The creator of ZELDA AND IVY illustrates the fine art of being a good friend and still being yourself-in an engaging, amusing tale about appreciating differences. Frank likes the quiet life an afternoon sitting in his favorite armchair and playing the ukulele suits him just fine. Izzy, on the other hand, craves an adventure, as you might expect of a rabbit whose grandma sailed the seven seas with a parrot on her shoulder (well, maybe not the parrot part). It's no surprise that when Izzy suggests they sail to Crescent Island and camp out overnight, Frank is a tiny bit hesitant. But when Izzy agrees to tow along most of Frank's earthly possessions and Frank patches up an unexpected mishap on Izzy's part they both agree that odd couples can make great companions for sharing a wonderful summer's day.
