I Know a Shy Fellow Who Swallowed a Cello

A timid fellow has an urge to swallow a cello and what follows is a series of unusual musical snacks. The tall protagonist in this book by Barbara S. Garriel consumes many instruments before he's reached his limit. John O'Brien illustrated this hardcover book with pen-and-ink drawings with watercolor wash. His delightful illustrations depict the character growing as he swallows each instrument and his body changing to match each shape.
