Hi! I am looking for a book that my son adored as a child, but neither of us can remember the title or author. It was an illustrated book about a mythical land with strange creatures: snake-like reptiles that coiled into circles to roll downhill and sometimes blew a flat, zebra/horse creatures that had to walk backwards, because their knees bent the wrong way. That’s all I can remember. I hope someone else knows it! Thank you!
Stump the Bookseller
New format, same book stumper solving.
Maybe one of the Raggedy Ann books? Backward knees sounds familiar from at least one. Best wishes on your hunt.
I will look into that! Thank you!
The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles by Julie Edwards (Andrews)?
If it was a picture book, I’m pretty sure is is “The No Such Things” by Bill Peet. Both of the scenes you describe are in his book.
