Weird Parents

32 pp. Pub: 9/95. *****Not only does his mother pack weird surprises in his lunch box—like a hard-boiled egg with rabbit ears and whiskers—but his father asks him to do weird things in public, like imitate a chicken. Of course, the boy won't, so his weird father does it instead. Why can't his parents just be normal like everyone else's, or everyone else's parents be weird like his? Full-color.
