Vernon is a cheerful, integrated part of his thriving island home. He's not a scowling, dangerous mountain-he's a friend. He holds trees, supports a happy monkey family, and watches dolphins and turtles play in the perfect, calm ocean. But when frustrations start to bubble, Vernon has a big, smoky problem.
With a massive puff of turbulent gray smoke, Vernon is on the verge of a full, fiery eruption. His cross-section reveals the chaos within a swirling vortex of molten lava and fire, vibrating intensely with jagged rumble lines and heat distortion. His cheeks are red-hot, his scowl is deep, and he's this close to a dangerous eruption.
But this time, the island is ready This image captures the precise moment Roc the Puffin flies right into Vernon's turbulent smoke cloud to save the day Roc isn't scared; he's on a mission.

A perfect story for bedtime or school, teaching emotional regulation through the most delightful tropical adventure.
