Treasure Chest of Fun and Fact #11 [457]

When Buttons, the smallest kid on the block, is left out of the baseball game, he turns his old bathtub into a spaceship—only to find it actually lifts off when the workmen load it onto their truck. With RuffRuff at his side and Sis watching from afar, Buttons takes a seat and hopes to steer the tub away unnoticed, dreaming of flying beyond the neighborhood.

Baby Paul’s sudden growth turns him into a towering legend, and with a crew of whimsical oddballs—including Sourdough Sam, Criss Crosshaul, and the ever-enthusiastic Johnny Inkslinger—he sets off on a wild journey beyond the Northern Lights, into the mythical Land of Old American Legends. Along the way, the crew’s antics and the sheer scale of their adventure bring the old tales to life in ways no one expected.
