  “[A] slapstick story about the possible origin of April Fools’ Day” from the award-winning author of Shawn O’Hisser, the Last Snake in Ireland (Booklist).   Once upon a time in 1564, Charles IX, the king of France, ruled that the first day of the year would be January 1 instead of April 1. Those who forgot the change and celebrated New Year’s Day on April 1 were ridiculed by having fish thrown at them.   In the skilled hands of Peter Welling, this history takes on a hilarious dimension. In the French town of Bakonneggs, there exists a rivalry between the Mayor Melon de Plume, a pig, and a prankster rooster, Michael Le Soufflé. The mayor lacks a sense of humor and is annoyed to be disturbed from his slumber by Michael’s crowing laughter. He issues new laws (including a ban on all feathers), but the town continues, under the rooster’s leadership, to laugh and play.   Then one day, Michael posts a law, signed by the king, on the official oak tree: New Year’s Day will no longer be April 1. Melon rebels, and when he still celebrates April 1 as New Year’s Day, the king orders that he be pelted with fish until he comes to his senses. Undaunted, Melon scoops up the fallen fish and hosts a big party, starting an annual day of celebration we now know as April Fools’ Day.   Populated by a menagerie of animals and creatures real and imagined, including a crafty crew of gargoyles, Michael Le Soufflé and the April Fool is sure to keep readers young and old coming back to discover new laughs on every page.

But Oogruk cannot give Russel the answers he seeks; the old man can only prepare him for what he must do alone.
