OverviewFor ages 3-8. Have you ever wondered if porcupines are ticklish, if fish wash, or how to say Rhinosterous? Do you know how to make a child-high sandwich? How porridge gets on the ceiling? What happens when your favourite aunt wears a wig? Why uncles wear plaid? William New's rhyming verse enacts all these situations, ranging from the madcap to the mysterious. The poems are complemented by Vivian Bevis's full page, full colour illustrations which capture the high-spirited and impetuous qualities of the verse. A companion volume to their highly successful 'Vanilla Gorilla' of 1998, this sturdy, hardcover picture book will delight both the early reader and the many adults who enjoy introducing children to the sound and rhythm of verse.
