Fans of all ages won’t want to miss their chance to follow their favorite Runny in this New York Times bestseller of laugh-out-loud adventures!
Way down in the green woods
Where the animals all play,
They do things and they say things
In a different sort of way—
Instead of sayin’ “purple hat,”
They all say “hurple pat.”
Instead of sayin’ “feed the cat,”
They just say “ceed the fat.”…
Return to the topsy-turvy world of Runny Babbit and friends in another billy sook by the celebrated creator of The Giving Tree, Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, Runny Babbit, and many more.
