Children's stories from the early 20th century are still timely today. This book are tales of a tail. The magnificent tail belongs to Mr. Scoodle-Do who improves the world, or at least his corner of the woods, by flip-flopping his tail. These stories were read long ago to many children who learned thoughtfulness and manners from this strange, gentle beast. (65pp. illus. hardcover with dust jacket. Author, 1986.)
