Have you ever wondered why clocks have hours, and minutes, and seconds...but not firsts? You will not find the answer to this question in this book, but Scratcher will tell you what happens if your dog goes wild in a butcher's shop, or if an eel gets up your trouser leg when you're standing in the middle of the creek in the rain, or if you fall in love with your teacher. And he'll tell you about the McPhees, and his friends, and about the cat whose feet never touch the floor, and what happened when a swan's EGG learnt to fly, and about the world's only fat butter of a dog, and...and...and, well about one or two other things as well...
