Rainbow Fish creator Marcus Pfisters humorous new story strengthens our belief in our own dreams

Reviews

Pfister's (The Rainbow Fish) chatty, unhurried text has the feel of impromptu narration from a family member, and Franz-Ferdinand is a marvelous creation--a wrinkly, speckled gray behemoth who exudes lighter-than-air grace and joy as he dances amid the pink flamingoes and dappled sea ice.-- "Publishers Weekly"
