Man Who Wore All His Clothes
Author(s): Allan Ahlberg
One morning shortly before Christmas, Mr. Gaskitt, a slim young father, dresses in all the clothes he owns--but why?--and leaves for work, while Mrs. Gaskitt, a taxi driver, has the misfortune of picking up a passenger whoâÂÂs just robbed a bank. In school, the Gaskitt twins get into hot water with a substitute teacher, and Horace the cat has gone to a friendâÂÂs house to watch TV. What could possibly happen next to the Gaskitts In the latest book by the award-winning Allan Ahlberg, illustrator Katharine McEwen has created bright, funny artwork that perfectly complements a keep-you-on-your-toes day in the life of the Gaskitt family. Acclaimed storyteller Allan Ahlberg introduces a funky new family and their hilarious exploits.
