A humorous, carefree story
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
The Thumb In The Box is a charming, quirky picturebook for young readers about an isolated Canadian village on the coast of British Columbia, which received an unexpected gift fire truck. The man who comes to build a fire station brings along a "detached thumb" as a practical joke, scaring the townspeople and making his mark on an eccentric community that includes a lion, a famous artist, and Leon, a boy who can't stop grinning. The Thumb In The Box is a humorous, carefree story with an appeal that crosses national borders.
