Bookroo's summary

A tall Texan embarks on a bizarre eating spree, consuming creatures like toads and rattlesnakes, all in a desperate attempt to rid himself of an accidentally swallowed flea. As his appetite grows, so does the chaos. Can he ever find relief from the tiny pest, or will his hunger lead to unexpected consequences? Dive into this humorous tale of epic proportions and discover the lengths one man will go to for a little peace.

From the publisher

How much can a tall Texan eat? In this humorous retelling of the classic tale, a tall Texan devours a toad, a rattlesnake, a bat, a bull, and more to get rid of the flea he accidentally ate. The Texan gets bigger and bigger as he eats more and more-all to get rid of a silly old flea! Whoo-ee!
