Ben Zhu’s Dessert Island is an irresistible picture book about sharing and caring.
Monkey is on a dessert island. It is made of frosting, berries, and other delicious things.
Fox is on a desert island. It is made of dirt, rocks, and sand.
But as time goes on, their fortunes change, and Monkey and Fox discover that no animal is an island.
This wonderfully layered story has themes of consumption and conservation at its center, and wraps up with a sweet and satisfying ending.
