Synopsis

Four strange, funny, and offbeat stories told in rhyming couplets.  In Dori Lee, a girl's obsession with her looks goes too far.  In The Boy Who Grew a Tail, a boy refuses to eat his vegetables--with dramatic results!  In The Bully, Earl Greene, a girl wakes up in the body of the town bully, and in The Giant Gnome, young Zachary discovers you might not really want what you wish for.  Reminiscent of the poetry of Shel Silverstein, and with a delightfully oddball bent!
