An utterly hilarious Seussian picture book—with a surprise
ending—about a mischievous little boy who gobbles up everything in
the whole entire world, except for one very important thing. . . .
When Danny McGee, much to his big sister Frannie's surprise, drinks up
the sea with a giant straw, it turns out he's just getting started.
Soon nothing is safe from getting swallowed whole by Danny McGee—not
the mountains, not the trees, not even the weather girl on TV! He eats
up America and all the people in the whole world (including the
author, who is writing this book from inside Danny McGee!). Danny
swallows the alphabet and all the numbers, until there is absolutely
nothing left . . . except, of course, his big sister, Frannie McGee.
Absurdist humor throughout, along with a delicious twist at the end,
will have kids laughing uncontrollably at this one-of-a-kind picture
book. Praise for the work of illustrator Neal Layton: "Layton's
playful mixed-media illustrations evoke Ludwig Bemelmans and John
Burningham. They're fresh and funny, providing plenty to pore over."
—Kirkus Reviews "[This] whimsical tale is given ample comic
dimension by Neal's zany and inventive mixed-media illustrations."
