About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is in a silly, wiggly mood and needs a story that matches their boundless imagination rather than a heavy moral lesson. Donald Bisset's collection is a masterclass in absurdist humor, featuring brief tales where the rules of logic are happily suspended. Whether it is a tiger who wants to be a bus or a pig that wants to fly, these stories validate a child's natural tendency to look at the world and ask, "Why not?" The emotional core of the book is centered on pure joy and the celebration of the quirky. It is perfectly aged for the 4 to 8 range, offering short chapters that are ideal for bedtime or transition periods. Parents will appreciate the clever wordplay and the way it encourages children to see humor in the mundane. It is a delightful tool for building vocabulary through laughter and opening doors to creative storytelling in your own home.

Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and lighthearted. It avoids heavy topics like death or divorce, focusing instead on the harmless frustrations of everyday life (like being bored or losing an item) resolved through magical thinking or humor.
