Minton loves things that move - boats, planes, cars, trucks. And he finds just what he needs to make them. The sea brings Minton all the things he needs to make a boat so that he and his friend, Turtle, can sail to an island on the horizon. There they meet Bouncer the acrobat, who has been stranded since she made the most gigantic, enormous jump and flew right out of the city, over farms and valleys and over the sea until she landed on the island. Minton will have to make an aeroplane to fly them all back to the city.
Instructions are included for children to make Minton's plane and boat out of everyday kitchen materials.
