Rainbow's End

by Berta Hader, Elmer Hader

Toby Tubbs and his cat were shipwrecked and drifted into a beautiful little cove. Tody decides he's had enough adventures at sea for a while, and settles in the cove, living in a tent. Since Toby is so good with animals, soon neighbors are bringing him their pets to cure. He's so busy, he doesn't have time to build a house before he is called to sea again.

Reviews

[Lester Banks · Rating 4 out of 5]

The plot has a few dramatic moments, but mostly takes time for observations of nature and townspeople in rural Maine.
