"Illustrated by Patsy Berton - who was there!"--title page.

In this fantasy adventure, four children - Penny, the leader; Pamela, her common-sense sister; Peter, whose life’s ambition is to become a garbageman; and Patsy, who collects frogs in her pockets - set out in search of their baby brother Paul, better known as the Pollywog, who has vanished mysteriously from their playhouse. Accompanied by their fearless pets the children descend through a secret trapdoor into a strange underground world of mushrooms whose green inhabitants know only one word: OG! Of his forty-seven books, this is Pierre Berton’s personal favourite, partly because the characters were inspired by his own children.
