This is a funny and inspiring book...

It is such a shame that this book is out of print - it is such a gem! It has been one of my son's favorites for years. It sounds great read aloud - particularly when you do the characters with Brittish accents. -- It shows how powerful a family can be when they pull together to solve a problem. And Mrs. Wobble's dilemma is a funny one (she is a waitress, but constantly wobbles, therefore spilling food all over customers). It also shows that a person's idiosyncrasies can wind up being embraced rather than shunned...
