Hal Garrott 1 hr 31 min read

Slender foods and round foods, a ticklish tree, a pig that learned to talk, a runaway tree, the delightfully absurd doings in a topsy-turvy land of nonsense for children.

Hal Garrott's 1923 book is a whimsical, inventive fantasy for young readers. Playful, silly, warmly imaginative juvenile fantasy. Read it for a charming garland of nonsense adventures in the Baum tradition, talking pigs, dancing trees, and gentle absurdity to delight a child.
