Have you ever wondered why clocks have hours, and minutes, and secondsÉbut not firsts?
You will not find the answer to this question in this book, but Scratcher will tell you what happens if
your dog goes wild in a butcherÕs shop,
or if an eel gets up your trouser leg when youÕre standing in the middle of the creek in the rain,
or if you fall in love with your teacher.
And heÕll tell you about the McPhees, and his friends, and about the cat whose feet never touch the floor,
and what happened when a swanÕs EGG learnt to fly,
and about the worldÕs only fat butter of a dog,
andÉ
andÉ
and, well about one or two other things as wellÉ
