Minton loves things that move - boats, planes, cars, trucks - and he finds just what he needs to make them. Minton wants to be a truck driver and when there''s sand to move and building to be done, Minton and Turtle are ready for a hard day''s work. Minton makes an enormous sand construction.

That lovable little Tashi has more adventures to recount - this time about Baba Yaga, whose amazing house on chicken legs blows in on a wild storm, and about the time the wicked Baron stole all the hens in the village to sell to the fearsome River Pirate.

Minton the spotty salamander has leapt out of "The Hottest Boy Who Ever Lived" to have his own adventures. Minton loves things that move--boats, planes, cars, and trucks. And he always finds just what he needs to make these vehicles. After each story, there are directions for making Minton''s favorite modes of transportation out of everyday kitchen materials such as margarine tubs, plastic bottles, corks, and skewers. Minton can''t wait to make a boat so that he and his friend Turtle can sail to an island on the horizon. There they meet Bouncer the acrobat, who has been stranded since she made the most gigantic, enormous jump and flew right out of the city and over the ocean.
