Read Slow Your Book


The State of Rhode Island has proud tradition of being the preferred setting for classic children's books. This tiny wonderland has been the dream destination for generations of storybook readers. Gouger's Smatchet Storybook series is happy to add yet another title to this magical literary heritage.

Readers of all ages will love There's a Wocket in Woonsocket, newly discovered among the papers of beloved author Dr. Zeus. The young protagonist encounters delightful creatures as he travels around the Ocean State. The Wocket is a beast that spouts silly backwards rhymes that seem vaguely French. He is joined by other funny fellows like the Wapponaug from Apponaug, the Chucket from Pawtucket, and Awful Leech of Oaklawn Beach . Together they all climb magical Baloney Hill in Olneyville where they have a delicious lunch at the New York System. Yummy.

All Children's Librarians will want to order multiple copies of what is sure to become a beloved story time favorite. It's more fun than the Big Blue Bug.

Item #148-Smatchet Storybook #6-$14.95
