Mr. Bliss by J.R.R. Tolkien

Before he wrote The Hobbit, Mr. Tolkien wrote this story for his own children.  This version displays the story in his own handwriting with the original illustrations on the right hand side, while the left hand side is typed for easier reading.
One day Mr. Bliss decides to buy a motorcar from Mr. Binks.  He then ventures out to visit the Dorkinses and a crazy adventure soon begins that involves bears, cabbages, a donkey and bananas.  The Girabbit also adds to the absurd story!
I read this aloud to my sons (ages nine and twelve) and the ludicrous plot certainly kept them entertained!
