Summary

The Curious Case of Mister Magnolia’s Missing Boot

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.

In this wittily rhyming picture book, Mr. Magnolia has a full and happy life except for one serious omission - a boot. But one day, he receives a mysterious parcel, and at last Mr. Magnolia can splash in the puddles with everyone else!
