Don't Forget the Bacon!

Author: Pat Hutchins
Illustrator: Pat Hutchins
Publisher: Red Fox

Pat Hutchins is a wizard with words as well as with the pictures they conjure up. When a boy is sent to the shop for ‘six farm eggs, a cake for tea, a pound of pears (and don’t forget the bacon)’ he transposes the list in his mind to ‘six fat legs, a cape for me, a pile of chairs’ and so on, the pictures becoming hilarious. And does he forget the bacon? Of course.
