Betty Munn Rouse Adventures of the Phillyfab Family

Annotation

The Adventures of the Phillyfab Family is a highly imaginative childrens adventure book for children aged 5 to 10. On the Phillyfabs summer vacation something out of the ordinary happens at each stop. The familys first surprise is when Mr. Phillyfab announces to the family that they are going to fly over Grand Canyon--on the wings of a dinosaur. Later, when stuck in traffic, Mr. Phillyfab presses a butt on on the dash of their van, and much to the familys astonishment, the van turns into a flying machine. Sadly, this wonderful van is destroyed in an earthquake in Alaska; however, to take its place Mr. Phillyfab rents a Harley with a trailer. With that they head to Zion National Park where he takes them down a narrow, winding canyon; too narrow for the trailer which gets stuck. They must spend the night in the canyon. In the morning they wake up to find themselves being stared at by something very unusual.
