Armed with this amazing stash of disguises, Merwin has become a pro at sneaking out of the park incognito to visit the mall or see a movie.One day Merwin slips out in disguise, just minutes before an inspectio of the park. The park ranger, fearful for his job should Merwin's escape be discovered, tears off after him. And so the chase begins, with Merwin slipping in and out of hilarious disguises as the frantic park ranger follows close behind.Christopher Hart's first ever picture book is a comical, fast paced adventure told with simple text and illustated in his much loved cartoon style. Merwin is brought to full-colour life with humour and heart, a hero every reader will love. |
