Come follow the whimsical and hilarious situations a chain letter might get you into. Poet Lucille Lang Day makes her children’s book debut with a tongue-in-cheek romp through the adventures of an exceptionally wacky chain letter. Fun, vibrant illustrations of an abominable snowman, a runaway rattlesnake, buried treasures in London, and penguin-sniffing beagles will capture the attention and tickle the funny bone of any child (or childlike adult).
