Flora is a comic book enthusiast and Ulysses is a remarkable squirrel. When they meet under strange circumstances, marvelous things begin to happen. Comparisons to Charlotte's Web would not be unfounded, but this tale is much sillier. Still, there's a lot of emotional weight underneath all of the nonsense. There's a lot to be said for K.G. Campbell's illustrations, too, namely that they are immensely charming. I wish I had a young kid with whom I could read this aloud, mostly so we could laugh together at lines like, "She looked short and uncertain, like an accordion in pajamas."
