In this unusual picture book, a magical purple feather takes readers on an imaginative journey. As the feather travels through the pages of the book, it becomes a whisker for a cat, a quill for a porcupine, and a tail for a dog. A real purple feather inserted in the back of the book makes the ending especially surprising and satisfying. Created out of everyday objects suck as pickles, forks, buttons, and ice-cream cones, Piven's illustrations will amaze readers young and old.

With distinctive illustrations, Hanoch Piven crafts a delightful story of competitive siblings whose attempts to frighten each other--revealed through 8 gatefold pages--are surpassed by their baby brother. Mo and Jo are sweet kids who engage in costumed one-upmanship until they’re surprised by a real” monster who turns out to be the baby, Bo. Piven’s unique approach-showing the photographed objects that will be used in the children’s disguises on the outside of the gatefold, and revealing the finished face when the fold is opened-brings a sense of excitement to this simple but compelling story for children aged 4 to 8.
