Illustrated by
Scott Magoon.
Young Hazel and Wally Nut have a size complex, so they decide to plump up their volume: "They rolled through sticky mud and goo. / The more they rolled, the bigger they grew." The digital art keeps pace with the mounting absurdity, but as always with The Nuts books, the rhymes seem adrift without the corresponding (online) song to power them.
