The classic picture book about five clever brothers, each with a different extraordinary ability, has been in print for almost 80 years.
"An original nonsense tale told with...spirit and gusto." -- The Horn Book
AppleBlossom read this one aloud to me from the 1988 Childcraft book. We noted the 1984 Childcraft had different illustrations. I remember this story from my own childhood. Not incredible, but interesting. Makes me want to go read The Story about Post Ping and another fable... something about a fisherman's wife...
