The adoption of a little brother sets off a series of fantastical adventures. When Mom and Dad bring home little Simon, their older son resists the idea of a new brother and retreats to a fantasy world. He builds a raft and sails to his own island of Bongadongo, creates an entire fleet of model ships, and, using chewing gum, tries to patch up a real boat that he finds along the shore.

John Shelley's illustrations reveal how imagination bridges even the widest gap."
