This book needs a warning to parents - they're going to have to read it over and over again - children will absolutely love it. The Bookseller 20090717 ...you can't look at that image without grinning inanely.

It's crusty and crawling with ants

His shoes are all slurpy and squelchy inside

And potatoes grow out of his pants

Morris is sweet, charming... and completely disgusting!

Kids will absolutely LOVE him.
