Timmy has the top half of a treasure map. Lily has the bottom half. "We find it together," says Lily, and off they march into the desert to look for the crooked cactus.

They walk and walk, over a hill and around a rock, and there is a crooked cactus every time. So Lily gives it a paper hat. Timmy adds a bow tie. Then sunglasses. Then a big, curly mustache! Wait a minute... is this the same cactus?

When the two friends finally put their halves together, the map fits like a puzzle. The map was never mixed up. They were! A dotted line leads past a flat red rock to a big red X, and a sweet surprise is buried there, waiting just for them.

Treasure Map Mix-Up is a funny, warm picture book about friendship, teamwork and listening to each other, with bright desert pictures and lots of read-aloud giggles. It's the third Timmy and Lily adventure, after The Great Kite Chase and Timmy and Lily's Monsoon Surprise. For ages 3–6.
