Author(s): Dorothy Kunhardt

Picture | Children's book sale | Sophisticated Picture

A silly, delightful story from the author of Pat the Bunny. What is junket? Well, junket is a delicious custard that makes a lovely desert. Why is the old man with a red beard and red slippers eating such an enormous bowl of junket, and what could he possibly be thinking about while he feasts? That's a good question! And one that the old man poses to the crowds and crowds of people that gather to watch him eat his enormous bowl of junket. In fact, almost everyone in the whole world wants to know the answer to this riddle. And only one little boy has the answer.
