Splish! Splash! Splosh! Wet and windy magic was at work in the bric-a-brac shop. Plop! A big drop of icy water landed on the stripy horse s nose and woke him up. When the weather turns bad in the bric-a-brac shop, Stripy Horse and his friends must save the day. With the help of Muriel, Hermann, and their new friend, Ella the flamingo-shaped umbrella, they must get to the bottom of this tropical storm before poor Roly and Pitch the salt and pepper pots get washed away. Perhaps the painting on the wall and the parrot-shaped weathervane have something to do with it...
本書講述的是一個發生在古董店里的故事，條紋馬和其他小動物生活在古董店里，可是有一天，店里突然下起雨來，墻壁上的畫里的海甚至如同真正的海洋一樣風浪大作......條紋馬又要經歷一次冒險啦。

英國謝菲爾德兒童圖書獎是一項比較權威的兒童圖書獎，《哈利波特》就曾經榮獲這個獎項，本書的作者創作了一系列關于條紋馬的繪本，輕松幽默的畫風以及奇特的想象深受讀者喜愛。

好多單詞不認識，但是故事基本看懂了，就是擔心到時怎么讀給孩子聽了，非常有想象力，這就是孩子的世界吧。
