One of the 10,000 stories my flippin flips told:
THE PUZZLING HABITS OF ECCENTRIC KARAOKE
"Irwin collected the local pets with a large net and a long van, never offering a suitable explanation. His surprising behavior made the people uneasy, but no one spoke a word of complaint, ensnared as they were in the throes of an irresistible charisma. This uneasy situation persisted throughout the long winter. The animals were kept on a sloop in the bay. Sounds of their joy could be heard in the hilltop village.

Hi Michele, thanks for the link to that book, it looks like something really enjoyable. I have a children's book which I've had for at least 25 years. It has a fantastical set up like that too with images which can flip thru the pages. Love it. Maybe it's time for the adult version. :) Hugs and I hope your week is shaping up to be lovely.
ReplyDeleteHello, Hello Lovely! So exciting to find myself (ourselves) (or, really, our book) written about here, Michele - thank you! Even though I illustrated it, I'm still surprised by some of the combinations that come up. We're so pleased that you consider it an "offbeat gem" - a compliment of the highest order. Off to celebrate with some ice cream now...
