Hornbeam All In

Cynthia Rylant

Hornbeam is a moose whose three tales bring him together with Cuddy, a cow; Eureka, a goose; and Adorabelle, a skunk. When a broken furnace sends him to Cuddy’s for the night, his snoring keeps her awake. He joins Eureka’s picnic to find potato salad but discovers a family reunion full of geese. Reluctant around water, he takes lessons after Adorabelle asks him to. Colored-pencil and watercolor illustrations accompany the episodes.
