  • A brother and sister fight to take control of an unnatended bicycle. They eventually ride together. They meet a crow who warns "beware of this and that," Embly looses 14 pairs of yellow shoes, they ride through a "lengthy puddle" and meet an alligator. They return to their original spot and discover an obelisk which "said it had been raised to their memory 173 years ago." The bike falls to bits. This is a quirky dark story with charming black and white drawings. It is great for both adults and unique kids.
