Christopher Crane

Once upon a time in Bigwig City, near the Bigwig Arms, behind Bigwig Towers and a half mile down Bigwig Boulevard from Bigwig Plaza, home of the Bigwig Times and WBIG-TV, Christopher Crane and the rest of the Bigwig Construction Crew had just finished building the Bigwig Complex. Sparkly and beautiful and ready for its ribbon-cutting, Mayor Bigwig suddenly decided to scrap the deal. The buildings were demolished, the equipment was removed from the site, yet in the midst of the mayhem, Christopher Crane got left behind. Many years went by, when one day Oscar and his brother, Little Theo, were in the park playing on Jungle Jim, their favorite climbing toy. It was there that they heard a voice crying from the ground, "Help me!" Fearing one of their friends was trapped, they started digging, when suddenly two big eyes popped out from the dirt... and... and... well, you'll just have to read the story to find out what happens! Written and illustrated in 2010 by Rosalinde Block, CHRISTOPHER CRANE ironically foretold the state of today's political climate. This is a story about altruism--the one thing we can all give that doesn't cost a dime or a zillion dollars!

A fost odata in Bigwig City, langa Bigwig Arms, in spatele Bigwig Towers si la o jumatate de mile pe Bulevardul Bigwig de la Bigwig Plaza, casa Bigwig Times si WBIG-TV, Christopher Crane si restul echipajului de constructii Bigwig tocmai terminasera construind Complexul Bigwig. Stralucitor si frumos si gata pentru taierea panglicii, primarul Bigwig a decis brusc sa renunte la afacere.
