She dives in after it, beginning a dramatic adventure in which a shark, dolphins, sea gulls, a paper airplane, the high walls and armed guards of castle, and other obstacles keep her from recovering it.ĭespite the help of a friendly (and non-anthropomorphic) horse, she eventually loses it…until a weird singing, dancing rooster leads her to the garden of lost things, where an even greater obstacle lurks. Penelope sits crying on a cliff, holding her now-broken heart, when suddenly it slips from her fingers and falls into the sea. Then we see them happily eating ice cream together on the next title page.įinally, on the first page of the story, the little red fox is shown flying away in a rocket ship, while a heart appears over Penelope’s head, a big, lightning bolt-shaped crack appearing in it. ![]() They’re holding hands, and the red fox tells Penelope she’s its best friend. On the title page we meet a pair of canines, a little red fox and a larger gray animal the back cover tells us is Penelope the fox. ![]()
