Little Iffy, a young griffin, prefers to be "down" on the ground rather than "up" in the sky. His friend Eggs Pegasus encourages Iffy to try, and a seesaw mishap launches Iffy way, way up, forcing him to overcome his fear and discover his ability to fly. Grainy digital illustrations paired with a bland text make for a simple introduction to risk-taking and to the concept of [cf2]up[cf1] and [cf2]down[cf1].
