Fragments of a handwritten letter have been discovered.

The letter tells of Margaret's first encounter with her father, of her mother's worry that she might lose her job as a maid, and of her little sister's being overtaken by paralysis and disease. And, of course, there were the dippers moving up from the river to inhabit the neighbourhood - furry, ungainly, dog-like creatures with leathery wings - creatures unnerving but not dangerous, yet another fact of life to become adjusted to.

Along with traditional offerings, tongue twisters, limericks and four unlabeled poems by Prelutsky--identified as the editor of Ms. Mouse's scribblings--the book includes the familiar poem about infamous "Ooey Gooey," the worm who ends up squashed on a railroad track, and a subversive rendition of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" that concludes with "Throw your teacher overboard / And listen to her scream." Priceman's watercolors, like those she executed in Prelutsky's For Laughing Out Loud , are frolicsome and frisky, mischievously expressive.
