Shout it once! Shout it twice!
Friends forever! Skog and mice!Since its publication in 1973,
The Island of the Skog
has been a favorite of children everywhere-and of the author himself!
We're delighted to remind you of this beloved book on its thirtieth
birthday.
Jenny and her city-mouse friends take to the seas in
search of a more peaceful place to live. But when they arrive at what
first seems the island of their dreams, they have a giant problem to
contend with: the island's only inhabitant, the Skog. Judging by his
enormous footprints, he seems a more terrible threat than a hundred
urban cats and dogs. How will the mice master their new domain?
Funny, exciting and sweet,
The Island of the Skog is a timeless tale of cooperation and compromise. It won the Michigan State Young Readers Award, and was included on
Booklist's Books for Every Child and the CBC Books for Peace list.
