<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This childhood classic stars a pudding that shares its deliciousness with everyone and never runs out -- because it's <i>magic!</i> The pudding's madcap adventures feature catchy rhymes and 45 whimsical illustrations.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Hard to resist. -- <i>The Horn Book Magazine</i><br>Wild and woolly, funny and outrageously fun. -- <i>New York Review of Books</i><br>There's nothing this Puddin' enjoys more than offering slices of himself to strangers, observes Bill Barnacle the sailor. Since its 1918 debut, generations of hungry readers have been helping themselves to <i>The Magic Pudding</i>. A walking, talking dessert, the pudding shares its deliciousness with everyone and never runs out -- because it's magic!<br>Australian author and artist Norman Lindsay wrote this jolly fable in response to a friend who claimed that children liked to read about fairies. Lindsay maintained that kids prefer food and fighting, and this fun-filled romp abounds in both. Sailor Bill and his companions Bunyip Bluegum (a koala) and Sam Sawnoff (a penguin) stroll, eat, and defend the pudding from would-be thieves. Upon occasion, the friends burst into exuberant song, punctuating their adventures with a series of whimsical rhymes. Charmingly illustrated by the author, this children's classic promises to satisfy even the biggest appetite. Hearty eaters, as Sam remarks, are always welcome.
