The Antlered Ship
by Dashka Slater; illustrated by the Fan Brothers
How deep does the sun go when it sinks into the sea? Red fox Marco longs to know the answer to that question and many others. When Sylvia, the deer captain of a majestic antlered ship, arrives in search of a crew, Marco signs right up. Joining the deer and a flock of pigeons (led by peg-legged, bandanna-wearing pigeon Victor), Marco braves storms, pirates, and rocky waters on his quest for answers. Whether they share Marco's thirst for knowledge or they're drawn to the meticulous yet whimsical illustrations, young dreamers won't be able to resist The Antlered Ship.
