You'll Double Over with Laughter! POP! Christopher's got egg all over his face (not to mention gum) when he gets caught with a mouthful of Whopping Watermelon Wonder at school! Double your fun with Christopher, as he counts by twos to get out of a sticky situation! Endearing, hapless Christopher is the star of a wonderful series of beautifully illustrated picture books.
