Illustrated by Steven Kellogg
Meg's account of the gardening club tea paints an ever more outrageous picture - at least in Jimmy's eyes -- as she answers his questions as to the goings on. Both Jimmy and Steven Kellogg allow their imaginations full rein in this tale of the chaos caused when Jimmy's real live boa constrictor is worn by Meg's mum for the occasion. The sheer dottiness of the story and the crowded action-packed illustrations should make this one highly entertaining but best enjoyed read solo.
