Poo-Poo and the Dragons
by C. S. Forester
Forester found the book's premise while at home in the hills of Berkeley and remembered his two sons while his wife, Kathleen, was gone. The youngest of the two, 8-year-old George, went on a hunger strike; refused to eat. The forester invented stories to tell at dinner, but he would only tell them if George ate them. If George stopped eating, Forester stopped speaking in the middle of the sentence. When Kathleen returned home and everything returned to normal, a series of stories about Pu Pu and 3 dragons appeared. The forester collected the stories in handwriting, and Little Brown published them.
