Herbert: Five Stories

A friendly format might prevent readers from guessing that this story is chapter-book length. Each funny tale about Herbert Clockfoote, a boy in the habit of waking up every morning as a different animal, builds on the last one. The tales gallop along at a brisk pace, giving readers the impression that Herbert is not at all odd. In comic pictures, Benson's bespectacled Herbert is matter-of-fact, but even more cool is his mother, who goes to the library to look up the food type that Herbert-in animal form-will need for dinner.Cutler, Ivor is the author of 'Herbert: Five Stories', published 1988 under ISBN 9780688081478 and ISBN 0688081479.
