From the whimsical world of Steig! When Quantz stops to pet a big red dog, what does he get for his efforts? FLEAS! And those fleas are itchy! So he trades them for a talking uncle, but that uncle just talks too much, so Quantz is happy to give him up for a huge wheel of limburger cheese. But that cheese is too heavy, so he trades it for a beat up banjo . then an auburn wig . a tiny pet rabbit . a dried up bone . and finally a big red dog—who becomes a fast friend. This wonderfully Steigish tall tale concludes with a flea circus you’ll never forget! With whimsical, retro illustrations and a hilarious text, Fleas is a book children will be itching to hear again and again!.
