Ackamarackus — Julius Lester

A bee who falls head-over-heels in love with a bluebird? An eagle who is afraid of heights? An alligator in search of cooler waters in Vermont? Readers of all ages will laugh at these irresistible creatures and their gleefully absurd predicaments, all the while unwittingly gathering wisdom about acceptance, ingenuity, and individuality. Julius Lester¹s read-aloud text brims with alliteration and clever wordplay, and Emilie Chollat¹s charming, quirky illustrations make for a sparkling debut of a vibrant artistic talent.
