This charming English tale follows the follies of Mr. Magnolia who "has only one boot." Cartoon style, water-colored line drawings explore the various rhyming friends of this quirky musician. My two year old daugter chimes in with delight as we encounter sisters who play the flute, a frog and a newt, a dinosaur...what a brute. While this book seems like nothing to a parent, children request to hear it over and over again. It's an instant favorite and a non-overpowering introduction to ryhmes.

So many children's books that I have not yet read....I want to read them all! Like this one, Mister Magnolia. Brilliant. Just brilliant. Who would not want to read this book over and over again? It's so ridiculous. Such a silly, wonderful little book. Brilliant text. Brilliant illustrations.

Mr Magnolia has only one boot.
He has an old trumpet
that goes rooty-toot---
And two lovely sisters
who play on the flute---
But Mr Magnolia has only one boot.
