I think Ogre Lawless Pervy Children go with anything.

Many older kids' books work just fine by themselves. My library has a shelf of vintage ya novels that read like the low-rent end of the the Olympia Books catalog -- Willful Cousin Kate, A Very Naughty Girl, The Girls of St. Wode's, and so on. If Cinemax had existed in 1920, these would all have been show titles....

One day, Ricky the magic pixie went to visit Daisy Bumble at her tumbledown cottage.

I wonder how long those took to put together?

This is way funnier than I expected.

So, once upon a time there was this Old 'n' Busted, USonian Lawless Ogre who ran into Three Ants near Two or Three Cars Parked Under the Stars. This led to a huge Blazecock Pileon, predictably followed by Fizz. The stars must have aligned well though, because there wasn't a Hippybear nearby, or he might have painted the scene in NomadicInK.

Damn right.

I approve. (Though I think photos without captions would be better.)

Now I'm trying to do this by memory with books I've read to my daughter. (Harry and the Lady Next Door is really a good start ...)

(I think using older books gives an advantage. Hard to find verbs ...)
