In this second book of the Mango Hill Series, Pineapple the Poi Puppy, Chico the Champion Chicken, and a stuck-up pa'u pony named Surprise join the gang on Mango Hill, Hawaii. The Centipede King plots revenge by biting Surprise on the rump during a big parade. Surprise runs away, and the girls fall out of the cart and become lost. Can Halau Mouse and her family of strays find the girls and bring them home? Written and illustrated in 1989 by Diana Hansen-Young, one of Hawaii's leading artists, THE BIG PARADE is about belonging and families. Long out of print, Diana is bringing back the entire Mango Hill series not only for the original readers but for their children and grandchildren as well.
