A long-awaited paperback of the much-loved tale of the anorexic infant who, when fed on a diet of avocado pears, becomes a super-baby performing such strong-man feats as bump starting the family car and moving the grand piano, not to mention tossing a pair of bullies into the pond. A delicious tall tale especially for all who love to indulge in their own private fantasies.
