Description
The Perilous Pit is a part of the Auracle line from Auryn. The app is based on Orel Odinov Protopopescu’s book by the same name illustrated by Jacqueline Chwast.No, this rollicking yarn is not about a dangerous hole in the ground--it concerns the carelessly discarded remains of a peach. When Katie flings away a peach pit, she sets off a momentous chain of events, 'for the pit hit a cat / who ran into the street / and made a car bump / into a fireplug.' As fire engines approach and water gushes from the hydrant, 'daredevil Danny' the skateboarder surfs through the town and out to sea.
