A nonsense story about Og and Ut, the gombrizils, who make friends with Tumblerum Wollycobble, the slobbadunk. They cure his indigestion and he helps them hatch their egg and bring up their daughter, Okay. Now part of the family, Tumblerum watches Okay grow up and saves her life when a tree falls on her during a storm. Eventually Okay marries and Tumblerum hatches her eggs. They all live happily under the mishmash trees.

Reviews

Strong's books are hugely popular with young children with their breezy, daft exuberance

—— Sunday Times

His books crackle with good humour and invention

—— TES

King of comedy

—— Guardian

His books are preposterously entertaining

—— Observer

Pullman's writing is spellbinding, his storytelling brilliant.

—— Scotsman

His Dark Materials wasn't just the best children's book – it was also the most interesting fictional experiment of our times.

—— Reader's Digest

An eye-widening fantasy, a scorching thriller and a thought-provoking reflection on the human condition, this is a book that can be enjoyed at many levels.

—— Guardian
