Animal Crackers Fly The Coop

In a companion to his "New York Times "bestseller, "Gimme Cracked Corn and I Will Share," O'Malley has once again mastered the art of wordplay and penmanship. Turning the Grimm's "The Brementown Musicians "on its funny bone, O'Malley has revised the classic story of four animals who part ways with their respective farmers to explore their artistic sides, this time sending them in search of belly laughs . . . and a great location for a comedy club. When they foil a band of robbers using their joke-telling talents, the animals-including one determined comedi-hen-finally prove they can kill the crowd with laughter.
