The World of Norm #7: Must Be Washed Separately

A new Norm for Christmas. (Not for life, thank God.) It isn’t fair. It is darn funny. But why’s the title about laundry? Mystery. Like a tender salad leaf or a banana in your lunch bag, Norm is easily bruised. So the sound of an elephant farting in the next room is sure to ruin his day. Worse is to come when his awful cousins get the brand new Call of Mortal Battle. Not that Norm (banned from Xbox) could even play. Then there’s the curious incident of a stinky dog at bath time. Yikes: is that what the book title means? If grumpy Norm has been sharing the bath with a pongy mutt, even we might feel sorry for him. (In between laughing loudly.)
