I'd forgotten about Henry Huggins' odd snack choices.
Thanks for the tour of the menu..I'm hungry now.
wow. incredible. But when is it time for cake and milk, cake and milk, with Harriet? Or is it just tomato sandwiches and the egg cream?
this is hilarious and brilliant. The grimmer ones - the Ribsy - in particular made me snicker
loved Ducklings a l'Orange
but no fried worms?
no pemmican and grog?
