</DIV></DIV></DIV>]]>So . . . this book is full of stuff I've always wondered about . . .
Like:
<ul> <li>Did Miss Mary Mack have friends who liked other colors?</li> <li>Could everything important about the world be summarized in a poem that rhymes?</li> <li>How do Moms always know when you're about to sneak a cookie?</li> <li>Who hid something under the Tooth Fairy's pillow when she was a little girl?</li> </ul>Inside you will find stories, short poems, lists, palindromes, visual treats, and random observations. Some parts are happy, some sad-ish, some silly, some serious, some crunchy, some with a soft center.
You can open the book up anywhere and read. So the beginning could be the end, and the end could be the beginning. But I guess the middle is always the middle. . . .
P.S. aren't Paul's drawings the best?!
