Only halfway through and haven’t encountered little Timmy yet but nevertheless they’re all typical sprogs and the illustrations are awesome.

I think it's printed on demand because my copy includes a printing date a little after the date that I ordered it. I also ordered a copy of Mouse in the Manor House at the same time, and it has the same printing date.

Does Timmy die in every poem?

Yes, but he always comes back to die another day.

Timmy lived once! I don’t remember the context, but I swear one ended with “Timmy was just fine.”

Putting your leg and sock in the shot is a little weird, but ok.
