There was a blinding light.Īnd then all was quiet. "Lizard, lizard, could you change Willy into a mouse like me?" "The moon is round, the pebble found," said the lizard. The leaves rustled and there stood the lizard. "Lizard, lizard, in the bush," he ( Alexander) called quickly. but when a box full of throwaway toys threatens to separate them forever, it takes a wily lizard and a full moon to set the story right. Said toy mouse (Willy) and real mouse (Alexander) meet and mutual sparks of admiration fly. A Velveteen Rabbit/Toy Story-ish tale about a real mouse and a fake mouse and a psychedelic lizard that used to scare the bejesus out of me. So, without further chitchat, I give you one of the books that I most remember from my own youth. ![]() Even when the selection might seem pretty obvious to me, lots of folks out there might not have the same feeling and posting a book like this could reunite it with a long lost love. ![]() Though I do try and stick with obscure finds and books readers might not have seen in a while, every now and again I have to give props to the classics. ![]()
