The Tall Man and the Twelve Babies

From a much-loved family team, this hilarious story is a riotous triumph of problem-solving.

In a big, big city,
In a tiny, tiny apartment,
Lived a tall, tall man
And twelve babies.
All the boys were called Alistair.
All the girls were called Charlene.
One day the door slams shut … with the Charlenes on one side and the Alistairs on the other. What will the tall man do?
