THE WHINGDINGDILLY

by Bill Peet ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 23, 1970

Identity crisis triggers animalgam: what happens when a dog, tired of being a dog, meets up with an over-obliging witch. She sing-songs some spells. . . and poof--the hump of a camel, the legs of a zebra, the feet of an elephant, horns of an antelope, nose of a rhino (replete with snorts), and neck of a giraffe--a Whingdingdilly, the one and only. The dog is remorseful, his master is mournful; but the man from The Palace of Living Wonders is jubilant--he traps and exhibits the freak, dubbing it Super Duper Hullabalooper. What happens when a whingdingdilly grows tired of being a whingdingdilly (never to be dog-tired again). . . A Peeternatural hillbilly happening.
