WHO IS THIS ROOT HOG?

What happens when young Carl’s mother is chatting on the telephone with her back turned to the “dynamo” in the kitchen? Energetic Carl is a curious and creative lad with an active imagination and busy hands! Not only does he gleefully manage to stuff an array of objects into his mouth, but he also loves annoying his older sister, Heidi. Since the arrival of his first two teeth at three-months-old, he has been rooting around the house and in the garden, chewing on plastic decorations, frogs, doggy treats … whatever he can find … even the wishbone from the Thanksgiving turkey! But Carl has an even greater surprise for his mother and sister as he develops a new “game” in the kitchen!
