About this ebook
Mr Twiddle is an old man who is always doing something silly. He loses everything, he puts the fireworks on the fire by mistake, he tries to read the herrings and feed the newspapers to the cat, forgets the dog and takes the lead for a walk, and try as he might, he can't remember anything. Mr Twiddle is a kind old man, who tries his best to be helpful, but only causes problems and trouble. He plants a boxful of onions, thinking they are daffodil bulbs, thinks he has lost his mackintosh when in fact he is wearing it, and puts a clock in the oven instead of the rice pudding. Poor Mrs Twiddle is left to undo all his muddles.
