One Potato Review
The lonesome, if approachable, freak who apparently made it over on Noah’s ark. Every illustration in this book looks like it should be hanging in a museum somewhere, and the text, by Edward Lear and Ogden Nash, will probably become embedded in even the youngest reader’s consciousness:
“Chippety tip
Chippety tip
Its only name is the Scroobious Pip.”
Please note: the artwork featured here comes from the opening pages, as no book-jacket representation was anywhere available that would do justice to these magnificent drawings.
