About the Author:
Paul McCartney's lifelong interest in children's storytelling grew out of his love of classic Disney. He has created a number of award-winning animated films in collaboration with Geoff Dunbar, including Tuesday, based on the book by David Wiesner, and Tropic Island Hum, which features characters from this book.
From School Library Journal:
Geoff Dunbar, the artist who created the illustrations for High in the Clouds, is one of the world's finest animation directors. Among the many awards for film and television he has received are two British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards (BAFTAs), a BAFTA nomination, and a Palme d'Or at Cannes.
Philip Ardagh is a bestselling children's author whose books have received widespread critical acclaim throughout the world. His work is now translated into twenty-seven languages.
Grade 2-4–McCartney joins the ranks of celebrity authors with his first childrens book. Wirral the squirrel sets off to find Animalia, a tropical animal sanctuary. He knows of it from his mother, who is crushed to death when bulldozers begin mowing down the Woodland. With her dying breath, she urges him to find the fabled island. His quest takes him to Megatropolis, a loud, polluted city, where he sees animals imprisoned in factories and learns of a plot to destroy Animalia. With the help of his friends Froggo and Wilhamina, Wirral finds the island and leads the animals of the Woodland and Megatropolis to a happy, if predictable, end. Ardaghs writing style and humor are evident, although some of the jokes fall flat. The cartoon illustrations resemble animation cels reduced to fit the books pages, with the result that occasionally Wirral and his friends become lost in the surrounding scenery. Due to its length and vocabulary, the book will appeal to children who are ready for long read-alouds or beginning chapter books.–Suzanne Myers Harold, Multnomah County Library System, Portland, OR
