About this title

From School Library Journal:

A boy draws a picture of a walrus and thus begins an imaginary adventure. Accompanied by his newly created companion, he sets sail for a tropical island inhabited by playful monkeys. The boy and the walrus join the monkeys in their spirited antics until the moon rises and it is time to return home. The slight story concludes with the boy gazing at his drawing, lost in his reverie. There is little about this lightweight story to make it memorable. Riddell's watercolors have a bright and friendly charm and, while far from being exceptional, they are sprightly. --Phyllis G. Sidorsky, National Cathedral Sch . , Washington, DC
