My Travels with Clara

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jon Cannell. A Dutch sea captain describes touring Europe in the 1700s with Indian rhinoceros Clara. Featuring plenty of period details, the art is a handsome mixed-media pastiche of reproductions, drawings, and the captain's (ostensible) journal pages. With no sources, readers will be clueless as to whether this is based on a true story (it is) or just an entertaining yarn.
