In the tradition of her bestseller\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Three Snow Bears, Jan Brett finds inspiration for her version of a familiar story in Namibia, where red rock mountains and vivid blue skies are home to appealing little dassies and hungry eagles.\u003cbr\u003e\n Mimbi, Pimbi and Timbi hope to find \"a place cooler, a place less crowded, a place safe from eagles!\" to build their new homes. The handsomely dressed Agama Man watches from the borders as the eagle flies down to flap and clap until he blows a house down. But in a deliciously funny twist, that pesky eagle gets a fine comeuppance!\u003cbr\u003e\n Bold African patterns and prints fill the stunning borders, but it is the dassies in their bright, colorful dresses and hats that steal the show in this irresistible tale, perfect for reading aloud.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n      Review      \u003cbr\u003e\n\"Classic Brett: meticulously rendered animal characters, an authentically depicted setting, ornate borders, action-filled side panels, and lively storytelling.\" --\u003cbr\u003e\nPublishers Weekly\u003cbr\u003e\n      About the Author      \u003cbr\u003e\nWith over thirty four million books in print, Jan Brett is one of the nation's foremost author illustrators of children's books. Jan lives in a seacoast town in Massachusetts, close to where she grew up. During the summer her family moves to a home in the Berkshire Hills of Massachusetts.\u003cbr\u003e\nAs a child, Jan Brett decided to be an illustrator and spent many hours reading and drawing. She says, \"I remember the special quiet of rainy days when I felt that I could enter the pages of my beautiful picture books. Now I try to recreate that feeling of believing that the imaginary place I'm drawing really exists. The detail in my work helps to convince me, and I hope others as well, that such places might be real.\"\u003cbr\u003e\nAs a student at the Boston Museum School, she spent hours in the Museum of Fine Arts. \"It was overwhelming to see the room-size landscapes and towering stone sculptures, and then moments later to refocus on delicately embroidered kimonos and ancient porcelain,\" she says. \"I'm delighted and surprised when fragments of these beautiful images come back to me in my painting.\"\u003cbr\u003e\nTravel is also a constant inspiration. Together with her husband, Joe Hearne, who is a member of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Jan visits many different countries where she researches the architecture and costumes that appear in her work. \"From cave paintings to Norwegian sleighs, to Japanese gardens, I study the traditions of the many countries I visit and use them as a starting point for my children's books.\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWith over thirty four million books in print, Jan Brett is one of the nation's foremost author illustrators of children's books.
