The Extrordinary Adventures of Ordinary Basil

Basil lives in a lighthouse and wishes for an extraordinary adventure.  One day a man shows up in an air-boat and Basil gets his wish in this high flying book.

Wiley Miller, the author, is the creator of the comic strip Non Sequitur and so this book has a lot of illustrations.  It is a very fun little story.  Basil feels so ordinary and then one day he is whisked away to a city in the air and from there has a grand adventure to help save the city.   The illustrations are fun and the story is definitely a good one for kids.




Here's a couple of (bad) page shots:

    These books are very good! My 15-year old son loves them (there's a sequel, too). The author ran some of this story in his Sunday comic strip.

    I love your Who Dat badge!! We used to live in NO. Wasn't the game Sunday amazing? We were so excited to see the Saints win!
