I checked this book out from the library when I was 4 years old and fell in love with it. Unfortunately, being a library book, I couldn't keep it. I checked it out a few more times before it disappeared from the library's catalog and I forgot about it. Years past and I thought I had dreamed it ever existed. Until I found it on here. Thanks, goodreads, for letting me know this book is not a figment of my imagination.

Mr. Vinegar is not good at long term planning.

I think this is the most underrated and unknown book! I read this with my cousin and died laughing and how funny it was! If you see this review you should read it! 🙂🥰😂

“I will take the door of the house with me, lovely. Then no one will be able to open it, will they.”

i’m not sure that’s how that works, but oh well.

“One robber squashed flat as a pancake and forty golden coins all scattered about! My goodness! How Mr. and Mrs. Vinegar jumped for joy!”

so... they’re not concerned about the dead man?
