From the publisher
From the author of Buzzy the Bumblebee comes a child’s hilarious visual interpretation of such parental idioms and witticisms as “Hold your horses;” “Money doesn’t grow on trees;” and “I have eyes in the back of my head.” “Cat got your toungue?” My momma likes to say. I’m not sure what she means but I like it anyway. My cat has never tried to take my tongue away. But if he did, he’d find that it can stretch a long, long way.
