Synopsis
This endearing narrative of Ptimothy Ptarmigan and his friends on Mount Massive in central Colorado features high alpine residents Marcus Marmot, Ada Pika, and a hermitic poet named the Poet Good. The book recounts their ordeal in a severe winter, Ptimothy s friendship with the poet, and his subsequent journey, at time perilous and at times joyous, to the city of Denver where he meets a lovely local pigeon named Penny, learns of the ways of man, and attends, to his utter joy, a performance of the symphony. In this tale of wonder and wanderlust, author Frank Daniels employs appealing and intellectually stimulating forms of language that will interest and excite young readers including alliteration, oxymorons, poetry, puns, and palindromes. A children s book for readers of all ages.
