The Bicklebys' Birdbath

The Bicklebys' mailman has fallen right into the Bicklebys' birdbath.

He did not trip on the sidewalk. He was not chased by a dog. He did not accidentally bump into it while reading one of the Bicklebys' magazines....

The mailman fell into the birdbath all because of a small little leak in a garden hose. Yes, a garden hose. A moose, a goose, a flock of crows, a bee, a lawnmower, and some other things were also involved....

In the tradition of This Is the House That Jack Built, this rhythmic read-aloud tells a topsy-turvy story of cause and effect -- and it's sure to cause a few giggles along the way.
