You name it. Their room is crowded and cramped; their life is an endless struggle. Al and Eddie are totally miserable until a large and mysterious bird offers them a change of fortune.
Transported to a gorgeous island in the sky, Al and Eddie are soon living a life of ease and comfort. But sometimes, they discover, the grass can be a little too green on the other side. After a dramatic, nearly tragic escape from their "paradise," both man and dog agree: there really is no place like home.
Arthur Yorinks and Richard Egielski have previously collaborated on Sid and Sol, which Maurice Sendak described as a "wonder"; Louis the Fish, named one of the Best Books of 1980 by School Library Journal; and It Happened in Pinsk, a Booklist Children's Editors' Choice for 1984.
Hey, Al is the winner of the 1987 Caldecott Medal.
