  • Merwin: Master of Disguise

    Christopher Hart

    Hardcover (Watson-Guptill, Sept. 1, 2002)
    Meet Merwin, a lovable elephant who is also a master of disguise! Merwin lives in a wild animal park. While the other animals are content to lie around and graze, Merwin is eagerly watching every person who enters the park-he collects every pair of lost sunglasses, every misplaced cap, every forgotten jacket. Armed with this amazing stash of disguises, Merwin has become a pro at sneaking out of the park incognito to visit the mall or see a movie. One day Merwin slips out in disguise, just minutes before an inspection of the park. The park ranger, fearful for his job should Merwin's escape be discovered, tears off after him. And so the chase begins, with Merwin slipping in and out of hilarious disguises as the frantic park ranger follows close behind! Christopher Hart's first-ever picture book is a comical, fast-paced adventure told with simple text and illustrated in his much-loved cartoon style. Merwin is brought to full-color life with humor and heart, a hero every reader will love.
