The boat is hit by a storm and the trio end up on a strange island with odd shaped boulders and a mysterious cave.
Exhausted, the rabbit and bear collapse in the cave, but the chicken spies a treasure. A strange, glowing orb.
Overcome with greed, the chicken grabs the orb and takes off from his friends, hoping to outrun them, but the friends quickly follow.
Maniacal with greed, the chicken continues to run but when he trips and drops the orb - a surprise is waiting inside.
This is a quirky tale of friendship and family that celebrates diversity and belonging. Wordless, poignantly illustrated, with magical double-page spreads sure to enchant children, this beautiful book is a must-have for serious picture book collectors.
