When Uncle Jerome picks up Zarah and her brother from school, suggesting that they take "the long way home," Zarah groans. She hates long walks! But this walk turns into something completely different . . .

Uncle Jerome's imagination and sense of fun soon transport the children into a wild adventure. Using their five senses to conjure up a world of fun and imagination, birds become pterodactyls, ripples in the water become crocodiles. Zarah and her brother soon realize that the best adventures only happen on the long way home!

Jake Hope and Brian Fitzgerald have created an irresistible and engrossing picture book that is simply wonderful to read aloud.
