The three sillies / Steven Kellogg.
A young man believes his sweetheart and her family are the three silliest people in the world until he meets three others who are even sillier. The only thing is -- the farmer, his wife, and their daughter are really silly. The three of them cry a roomful of tears -- all because they start a-thinking that if the gentleman and the daughter were to be married and if they had a baby boy, the boy might be donked on the head by a mallet! The gentleman can't imagine anything sillier: "In all my travels, I've never met three sillier sillies, " says he. And he decides to set out a-traveling once more, to return only when he finds three sillier sillies. Do three sillier sillies exist in all the land? (Here's a hint: the gentleman marries the farmer's daughter.) Inspired by an 1890s folktale, popular author-artist Steven Kellogg has re-invented The Three Sillies as a deliriously outrageous new comedy.-- Provided by publisher.
