An utterly hilarious Seussian picture book--with a surprise
ending--about a mischievous little boy who gobbles up everything in the
whole entire world, except for one very important thing. . . .
When Danny McGee, much to his big sister Frannie's surprise, drinks up
the sea with a giant straw, it turns out he's just getting started. Soon
nothing is safe from getting swallowed whole by Danny McGee--not the
mountains, not the trees, not even the weather girl on TV! He eats up
America and all the people in the whole world (including the author, who
is writing this book from inside Danny McGee!). Danny swallows the
alphabet and all the numbers, until there is absolutely nothing left . .
. except, of course, his big sister, Frannie McGee. Absurdist humor
throughout, along with a delicious twist at the end, will have kids
laughing uncontrollably at this one-of-a-kind picture book.
Praise for the work of illustrator Neal Layton:
Layton's playful mixed-media illustrations evoke Ludwig Bemelmans
and John Burningham. They're fresh and funny, providing plenty to pore
over. --Kirkus Reviews
[This] whimsical tale is given ample comic dimension by Neal's zany
and inventive mixed-media illustrations. --Publishers Weekly
