(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Nick Bruel. When Ut, a gombrizil, cures Tumblerum Wollycobble, a slobbadunk, of its indigestion, the two become best friends. Ut even convinces her husband, who hates slobbadunks, to accept Tumblerum. Tumblerum becomes part of the family, incubating the gombrizils' egg and helping raise their daughter. Readers will enjoy King-Smith's nonsense language and fantastical creatures, shown in Bruel's rounded black-and-white illustrations.
