Reviews
It’s a long way from Elephant Island to Icetown, but good friends will travel great distances to visit each other. And so Elephant leaves home to see his pen-pals -- Elephant has helped them build a hotel, and there will be a party in his honor.
In Icetown, things don’t go as planned. In fact, they don’t go smoothly at all.
But just like friends will travel far across the sea to be with each other, good friends will also always help to make things right.
Please don’t forget your local bookstore.
"Schallau’s...Icetown contains a multitude of inventive pleasures...the elaborate yet always readable spreads are distinctly Schallau’s own...the complete, freestanding visual universe Schallau creates compels close inspection.”
--Publisher’s Weekly
“...Schallau's pictures are certainly fun to examine...” --Booklist
