“They’ve had their bowl mended, and now they are going off on another voyage.”
“Come on,” said a boy to the Man. “Come and see them off.”
“See who off?”
“Why, the Three Wise Men of Gotham. They’ve had their bowl mended, and now they are going off on another voyage.”
So they all ran down to the beach, and there to be sure, was a very large bowl tossing around on the ocean, which wasn’t of salt water at all, like that at Squirrel Island, but made all of lemonade.
“All ashore going ashore!” called out the wisest of the Wisemen, and pulled up the dictionary which they used as an anchor, and pushed the bowl off the shore with a lemonade ladle. All the little boys and girls screamed “Good-bye! Good-bye!” and began to play having a tea-party.

I like the little girl looking back toward the illustrator. Very charming story.
What an action-packed little scene! I love the colors.
Do you like the lemonade sea?
Elephant
Honestly, no. The idea of it kind of bothers me. I don’t know why…
A sweet sticky ocean? I liked the way it looks, but if I think about taking a swim etc. it bothers me too!

It’s ” In The Miz” again! This strikes me as a most peculiar and fascinating book. Some of the artwork is very naive, some very ” comics”-y and it all seems to have produced with such convictio…
Have a nice nap!

The title speaks to me, such magic
In a teacup! Always a whirling interesting something! And when it is a Wizard in that teacup . . .
Elephant
The possibilities become endless
Too true!
