Illustrated by
Gavin Bishop.
Mister Whistler sets off to visit his great-aunt, but the song in his head makes him misplace his train ticket. Garment by garment, he checks his pockets and dances his way out of his clothes, displaying virtuosic flexibility and sartorial flamboyance. This dressing, undressing, and dressing-again story is a vivacious display of Mahy's perfect timing and picture-book-plotting.
