Tickletoe Tree Poetry - Russ Towne - Bog

"This selection of humorous story poems will help introduce to youngsters how fun poetry can be. You'll meet hilarious and heart-warming characters such as Clyde the Green Giraffe (who tried to untie a knot in a Tickletoe Tree and now has a terrible neck ache), Hippita Hippo (who dreams of flying), and Hoozy Whatzadingle (who ignores his tall friend and builds his house out of cardboard just before a huge rainstorm, and tries to use fireflies so he can see inside a house without windows). Children will also meet V. G. and Dexter Dufflebee. V. G. is tiny but has big ideas for a little guy. He'll need them and more as he tries to rescue Dexter from a huge thorn bush. And a grumpy old couple name Grumbly and Gruffina Grumpadinkle have their house and frowns turned upside down when they reluctantly agree to watch a lovable and energetic little puppy."
