Tommy at the Grocery Store

A small ingenuous pig is repeatedly mistaken for somthing he is not when his mother leaves him at the store. This from the grocer: "He thought that Tommy was salami/And set him on the deli shelf./And Tommy sat among salamis,/Softly sobbing to himself." A frantic do-si-do of mistaken identity includes several punnish incidents while Tommy is nearly "prepared" for dinner; it would be cruel were it not so deliciously funny and yes-to reassure youngsters-entirely absurd.Grossman, Bill is the author of 'Tommy at the Grocery Store' with ISBN 9780060224097 and ISBN 0060224096.
