Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Descended from Spanish pirates, the Pigaroons, like their pilfering ancestors before them, stole stuff. One night they steal a crystal-clear block of ice from their neighbors the River Patrollers, who had intended to carve it for entry in the annual ice festival sculpture contest. When the River Patrollers awake to discover the Pigaroons have taken their block of ice, they decide that enough is enough, and they set about devising a plan . . .

Arthur Geiserts etchings will delight readers with their beautiful colors and intricate details in this celebration of another triumph for creative ingenuity.

Review:

This is vintage Geisert:obsessive in architectural detail, meticulous in precision line hatching, straightforward in narration, and delightfully overinvested in his procine universe.

Synopsis:

A rivalry between the River Patrollers and the Pigaroons heats up at the annual ice festival. Geisert's etchings will delight readers with their beautiful colors and intricate details in this celebration of another triumph for creative ingenuity. Full color.
