From the whimsical world of Steig!

When Quantz stops to pet a big red dog, what does he get for his efforts? FLEAS! And those fleas are itchy! So he trades them for a talking uncle, but that uncle just talks too much, so Quantz is happy to give him up for a huge wheel of limburger cheese. But that cheese is too heavy, so he trades it for a beat up banjo . . . then an auburn wig . . . a tiny pet rabbit . . . a dried up bone . . . and finally a big red dog?who becomes a fast friend.

This wonderfully Steigish tall tale concludes with a flea circus you?ll never forget! With whimsical, retro illustrations and a hilarious text, "Fleas"is a book children will be itching to hear again and again!
