Night of the Haunted Trousers - Softcover

Liam's grandad is devastated when Mrs Porteous succeeds in her mission to close Nursery Rhyme Land, a museum full of stuffed animals displayed in nursery rhyme scenes. Not only that, but Liam has to contend with a pair of haunted trousers, which when combined with General Custer's false teeth, turn the wearer into Rabbit, a sad orphan cat-catcher - and both Grandad and Mrs Porteous fall victim! Stir in a fainting goat, stand back as the museum animals come to life and attack Grandad, and watch the fast and furious fun develop. Surprisingly, all ends happily as Grandad and Mrs Porteous open the Fainting Goat Farm.
