When Rufus Buckhorn wakes one morning, he decides he just must go to Black Water Pond to have cherries for his breakfast. But everyone knows a fierce polka dot lion lives at the edge of the pond -- everyone, that is, except for Rufus, who is absolutely positive it's a rumor.
Children will delight as Rufus tries to convince his friends, Gerome the Groundhog and Hubert Hamster to accompany him for his breakfast feast. But Rufus' friends are much too frightened, and they insist danger lies ahead. Is there really a polka dot lion at Black Water Pond? Or is there something much more special and wonderful? Rufus Buckhorn is about to find out the truth!
Delightfully told, and full of warmth and wonder, Donna Edgecombe's book is splashed with colorful illustrations, wonderfully set up by designer Terry Downes.. Besides being grand entertainment, this charming story also teaches children not to believe every rumor they hear, and that even the most seemingly terrible story can turn out to have a very happy ending.
