Too Many Lollipops. Robert M. Quackenbush. 1975. 32 pages. [Source: Book from my childhood]
First sentence: One sweltering Sunday Henry the duch had a headache. So
he called his doctor. The doctor told him to wear a woolen bonnet, and
rest...and EAT A LOT OF LOLLIPOPS. Out shopping on muggy Monday Henry
the duck was caught in a flash storm and got a sore throat. The doctor
told him to wrap a scarf around it, and rest...AND EAT A LOT OF
LOLLIPOPS.
Premise/plot: Will Henry the duck need a new doctor, a better doctor by the end of the week?!?!
My thoughts: Too Many Lollipops is one of my favorite books from
childhood. It is definitely one of the more memorable. It has lollipop
end papers. The repetitive text which just keeps building and building
and it is just DELIGHTFUL. I love the illustrations as well.
