Over the course of 64 full-color pages illustrated with acrylic paintings by Michael Pukac, Marceau treats readers to five different stories told in five days:

The First Day: The Rainforest
The Second Day: The King and the Mosquito
The Third Day: The Baby Elephant
The Fourth Day: The Melting Penquin
The Fifth Day: King Neptune Calls

The Stories: Week 3

DAY 1

The Rainforest

“The forest has many enemies who will destroy it if they can,
And I don’t refer to animals, the enemy is MAN.”

DAY 2

The King and the Mosquito

“And away they would go just as fast as they could,
Worried that they looked like they tasted too good.”

DAY 3

The Baby Elephant

“The people ‘oohed’ and they ‘aahed’ and that was only because
Not one of them knew just how lonely she was.”

DAY 4

The Melting Penquin

“The warming caused melting and the iceberg lost land
‘Til they were all squished together with no place to stand.”

DAY 5

King Neptune Calls

“For this monster could crush me if he would just choose to
And this was thought I could not quite get used to.”
