Dear Gazelle,
For some time now I have wanted to write a letter to say how much I
admire you. You are so graceful and fine. Even when you are running from
tigers you are like a ballerina who is running away from tigers.
I think that what I'm trying to say is that I love you.
XO,
OX
And so begins an epic, if initially unrequited, love affair between a
graceful gazelle and a clumsy, hapless ox. Romance will never be the
same.
Adam Rex's hilarious, sweet, and at times heartbreaking letters between
a hopelessly romantic ox and a conceited, beautiful gazelle are paired
perfectly with Scott Campbell's joyful illustrations to bring you a
romance for the ages.
