Ross Burach.
Rollicking verse relates the misadventure of Billy Bloo, mired in a green blob, and the fates of his would-be rescuers, including a cowgirl, four acrobats, an inept wizard, and a host of other unlikely characters. Billy is finally unstuck, but what of the others? Zany candy-colored cartoons perfectly reflect the wild romp.
