It is a children’s book that is about the way children see the world literally. One page says: dad left his blue prints in the snow and the picture is a blue prince in the snow with blue feet prints in the snow. Another page says: dad said mom is playing bridge and not to disturb her and the picture is a female with her head on a chair and feet on a couch and the cat walking across her like she is a bridge. Another page says: mom said that my sister has a frog in her throats and the picture is of a little girl with a frog inside her mouth. Another page has a little horse with clothes on and the caption is: mom said my brother is a little horse.
This sounds like one of Fred Gwynne’s books, but I’m not sure which one. They all have the same concept, with wonderfully absurd illustrations. They are: A Chocolate Moose for Dinner, The King who Rained, The Sixteen Hand Horse, and A Little Pigeon Toad.
Thank you so very much!!!!
I believe you are looking for “The King Who Rained,” by Fred Gwynne, AKA Herman Munster.
Thanks!!!!! I bought it right away!
