This is certainly a lesser-known Lobel book! It was difficult for me to even find a copy, but, now that I have, here is an entry on this site in case parents happen upon it.
The whole story is upbeat and young child-friendly–and not without a gentle climax. Some of the illustrations will produce giggles. See if you can find it!
