Week 2

Over the course of 60 full-color pages illustrated with acrylic paintings by Michael Pukac, Marceau treats readers to five different stories told in five days:

The First Day: Endangered Animals
The Second Day: The Pirates
The Third Day: The Third Theft of the Mona Lisa
The Fourth Day: The Taming of the Tiger
The Fifth Day: The Beautiful Princess

The Stories: Week 2

DAY 1

Endangered Animals

“Their nerves were frayed, their defenses were heightened.
They had every right to be very frightened.”

DAY 2

The Pirates

“This bounder, this Blackbeard, despicable man,
had destroyed the last town that had turned down his plan.”

DAY 3

The Third Theft of the Mona Lisa

“The painting had been stolen once, twice, and then,
Some very wicked people went and stole it again.”

DAY 4

The Taming of the Tiger

“He was muscled and striped and he weighed half a ton.
And his teeth glistened meanly when caught by the sun.”

DAY 5

The Beautiful Princess

“Everyone knew better, what else could I say?
After all, my good friend, we weren’t born yesterday.”
