The Children.

The children of Palmerwood, the latest scions of the ancient dynasty, Intrepid Stella A. and Young Leo "4xL"* J., are just as adventurous as their old man. Insofar as they are both rather young, however, their judgment is not always the keenest, and occasionally, their impetuosity leads them to undertake projects against which their wiser seniors may caution them.

Here, after one too many viewings of "Animal Planet," one too many Dr. Seuss books, and one too many trips to Yo My Goodness, Intrepid Stella A. attempts to talk her little brother into an expedition to capture the Frozen-Yogurt Dispensing Eskaroo of the Jungle of Nidd.

The expedition goes slightly awry when the explorers fail to find the Jungle of Nidd on any of their carefully prepared maps and charts, and end up instead in the mangrove swamps of Borneo. 

The expedition leads the siblings to the pampas of Argentina, where they discover a particularly vicious species of avian long since thought extinct. 

The expedition leads the young Palmerlets deep into the Andes, where they encounter yet another species long thought one with the ages. 

Somewhat disappointed, the moppets return to Palmerwood and endure a well-deserved dressing-down from the old man.

Somewhat chastened, the kiddiewinks return to somewhat safer recreational pursuits.

*as he was nicknamed by the head pilot/curator of the Aviation Library: "Ladies Love Little Leo." He is a mighty cute little fella.
