My apologies for crap camera work. You NEED this book to FEEL the greatness!
It was published in 1974, and for some reason, I think it was never published again...
The story begins with Sally Ann writing a letter to Lucy Jane:
A "Stamp-Collecting Trollusk" comes and steals the letter and "gabbles away with a smirk on his snerk:"
Then a "Letter-Eating Bombanat" snaps it up:
As the Bombanat flew over the "Blue Ocean of Bubbling Goo," a "Bombanat-Munching Grumley" grabbed him:
Then the Grumley gets grabbed by a fishing boat!
OH NO the fishing boat gets hit by a "Furious-Floating Ice-Ferg!" SCRUNNCCHHHH!
The letter is now in a bottle in the ocean - before it is found, the whole ocean is sucked up by a "Wild-'n-Windy Typhoonigator!"
Whoooo scary badness!
The Typhoonigator was just too darn full, so it dumped its load right onto the head of a "Paper-Munching Yalapappus" - and the story gores on from there...
I'm just going to have to leave this as a cliffhanger - go find a copy and buy it! Scoot!

holy shit!!! i was just thinking about that book, how crazy. i especially liked the typhoonigator, it always stuck with me. i was trying to explain it to someone the other day and couldn't think of the name or the author so it pretty much just sounded like i was explaining an acid trip.
maybe i was an acid trip that mayer had?!
that's awesome. i'm going to search for it for when z is older. like 2.
I love how the monsters still look delightfully cute.
thanks Valency!
:^)
this made my day!
Yeay Dee!! That's why we'd ROCK if we lived in the same city... our brains are on the same (crazy?) wavelength...
Rilah, if I ever find another copy at a used bookstore for cheaps, I personally will TOTALLY get it for little Z!
Monsters are awesome when they're made in 'cute' style...
And thank YOU, Canny, for inspiring me to share this book!
