Rocky and the Great Bird Race

Rocky the Otter finds himself in Morro where he meets up with Corky the Cormorant and Sam the Seagull. While reminiscing about their adventure in "The Basking Shark Rescue Team," Rocky comes to realize that he has a role to play in the Great Bird Race, an annual race that Morgan the Merganser described as "the most important athletic event in the history of the world." Rocky, of course, never heard of it. Angelo and his dog, Lovisa, help Rocky and Morgan in his quest to win the race. Alan Marder, who illustrated the Ted L. Nancy "Letters From a Nut" books, again beautifully illustrates this delightful story.
