Moki & Bik - First Edition Hardcover with Dust Jacket and Signed by Wendy Orr

A very special book given to Little Paper Planes from the author's own collection. Moki and Bik are inspired by Wendy's father and his twin, and their childhood living on a boat. Only printed in North America, these wonderful, rollicking tales are no longer in print. We are lucky enough to have signed copies of both Moki and Bik, and Moki and Bik Go To Sea. 

Despite their differences, twins Mokie and Bik know how to work well together in everything and anything they do, in an amusing tale of sibling love from the author of Ark in the Park.

Mokie and Bik lived on a boat called Bullfrog. They lived in it, on it, all around it—monkeying up ladders and down ropes, over the wheelhouse and across the cabin floor.
"Twins!" their mother shouted, because the lines of her Art jiggled and jarred when Mokie and Bik played bumpboats. "Get out from underfoot!"
So Bik bumped Mokie out the door—splat!—into nanny Ruby's bucket as she was sploshing the deck.
"Twins!" shouted Ruby. "Get out from underfoot!"
So they sunned like seals on the wheelhouse roof for about twenty hours till Ruby finished sploshing.

Meet a pair of twins that will monkey their way into your heart!

Mokie is bigger but Bik is faster. They are twins, and they have a nanny Ruby that looks after them while their mom is Arting and their dad is on his ship at sea.
Whether they're helping Erik the Viking splosh his decks or learning to swim fast as fisk, these two are always overboard or underfoot!

Rambunctious and charming, Mokie and Bik are a pair you won't soon forget. Wendy Orr's buoyant language and Jonathan Bean's gorgeous, detailed pen-and-ink illustrations blend together in a book that is destined to become a classic.

Mokie and Bik is a 2008 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.
