As in Waltur Buys a Pig in a Poke and Other Stories, bear Waltur gets in a fix and discovers firsthand the meaning of three idioms: in this case, "Don't put the cart before the horse"; "Don't paint yourself into a corner"; and "Let sleeping dogs lie." The taken-literally idioms and lively watercolor illustrations make the book fresh and accessible.
