Icky Ricky #4: The Hole to China

This Captain Underpants–style Stepping Stones series is half text, half illustration, and 100 percent humor.   The creator of Goodnight Goon and The Runaway Mummy pulls from his mad-scientist brain a kid so attracted to slime, muck, dirt, and yuck he could only be called Icky Ricky. And uh-oh! Icky Ricky is in a mess. Why? Well, you see . . .            He’s digging a hole to China, in his backyard.             He found a free toilet in someone’s garbage.
