Joe and Sparky, Superstars!: Candlewick Sparks

"Being in on a joke is a treat for young readers, and this little treasure is one that will get passed around." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

When fun-seeking Joe, a giraffe, takes a reluctant Sparky, a turtle, on a wild ride across the famous cageless zoo to see a mysterious box displaying a talent show, the two decide they must compete to be the next famous pair. But what are their talents? Joe can run fast, wiggle his ears, and touch his nose with his tongue (not to mention drive a car). But Sparky doesn't know what his special skill is. Can the enthusiastic encouragement of Joe the World's Best Talent Finder help the retiring Sparky become a star?
