About this title

Synopsis

In attempting to follow his mother's instructions, a good-hearted boy always does the right thing at the wrong time.

From Booklist

Gr. 1. For the child getting ready to read, this retelling of an old English folktale makes a funny read-aloud. It's the story of the good-hearted foolish boy who means well but gets in trouble by applying his mother's advice too literally. The farce of his mistakes--as he carries milk in his pocket, smelly goat cheese on his head, and a donkey on his shoulders--will make new readers feel wonderfully superior. True to storytelling style, Orgel's version is simple and direct without being stilted, and Day's bright, clear watercolor and line illustrations express the cheery slapstick of the story.
