It’s another adventure with The Cinnamon Bear! Last time, Judy and Jimmy were captured by Captain Taffy and his Pirates. The pirates took the kids to the Magic Island and loaned them a rowboat.

Today: Chapter 9: Roly-Poly Policeman

In this chapter, The pirates give the children a small boat to row to shore and then sail off. But a Magic Wave prevents them from getting through the surf. They try again a few hundred feet down the shore and find the water calmer. Landing on the beach they return to find the Roly Poly Policeman, but the star is gone from his chest. The Irish-brogued cop explained that a fellow who said he was a friend of theirs came to collect the star, then ran on up the beach in the opposite direction. From the policeman’s description, it could have been none other than Crazy Quilt. Our group follows but as they are running along the sand, Paddy O’Cinnamon disappears.

Today: Chapter 3: Crazy Quilt Dragon

The Stork reappears, apologizing for causing them problems and offering to fly them to the top of the cliffs which overlook the Root Beer Ocean. There they discover Crazy Quilt, with the Star, sound asleep. Awakening him with a Boo, the frightened dragon falls over the cliff into the ocean below. After he swims ashore, the patchwork explains in song why one must “Never Say Boo to a Crazy Quilt Dragon.” He apologizes succumbing to the temptation to steal the shiny star. Unfortunately though, he cannot return it because he lost it when he fell into the Root Beer Ocean.
