The Purple Peanut of Pango Pango Eric Lauterbach

Come visit the magical island of Pango Pango. The Purple Peanut of Pango Pango was born in the middle of the night from a new father's desperation to get his son to sleep. That character was Teddy the Tugboat, created for my son Konrad. As his sisters were born, along came other characters so everyone had one and this book is a compilation of a few of those stories that helped get little people to sleep as I laid on the floor in front of 3 cribs in a San Francisco flat. Those people have since grown, but the magic of those years remains fresh in my mind and this book is for Martina, to whom I promised this years ago.
