The Magic Pudding

The Magic Pudding is a pie except when its something else like a steak or a jam donut or an apple dumpling or whatever its owner wants it to be. And it never runs out. No matter how many slices you cut theres always something left over. Its magic. But The Magic Pudding is also alive. It walks and it talks and its got a personality like no other. A meaner sulkier snider snarlinger pudding youve never met. So Bunyip Bluegum (the koala bear) finds out when he joins Barnacle Bill (the sailor) and Sam Sawnoff (the penguin bold) as a member of the Noble Society of Pudding Owners whose members are required to wander along the roads indulgin'' in conversation song and story and eatin'' at regular intervals from the Pudding. Wild and woolly funny and outrageously fun The Magic Pudding stands somewhere between Alice in Wonderland and The Stinky Cheese Man as one of the craziest books ever written for young readers.
