Talester the Lizard lives in a curled-up leaf that overhangs a lovely pond. Just below lives his friend, a wonderful fellow who looks just like him and shares his every mood. When Talester is happy, so is his companion; when Talester is sad, his companion is too. But then one hot and dry summer Talester's friend starts to move away - farther...and farther...and farther away. At last he disappears. The miserable lizard's search for his friend carries him trough various landscapes and introduces him to new friends. Readers will surely enjoy Talester's adventures in this delightful illustrated book.
