  'This is the story Of Alison Hubble, who went to bed single, and woke up double'. Here, in verse, are the hilariously original stories of a mighty slide, a man who fought crocodiles, a girl who doubled, a couple of baby skinners and a thing that lived under a school. A wonderful collection from Allan Ahlberg, author of Please Mrs Butler , Woof! and Happy Families , illustrated throughout with delightful drawings by Charlotte Voake.
