Synopsis

Korky Paul's action-packed and distinctive artwork is the perfect match for Jeanne Willis's hilarious rhyming tale, complete with all the revolting ingredients children love The ghastly Mr. Skumskins O'Parsley's favorite dishes include pans of slugs, tubes of glue, squashed tadpoles on toast, and bogey burgers. O'Parsley decides one day to bake an extra special cake, with more revolting ingredients than anyone can possibly imagine. However, when the cake decides to eat HIM, he realizes it is time to mend his ways. Rollicking rhymes are accompanied by exuberant illustrations of the revolting cultinary concoctions.
