"In the first place, Prince Toofat got acquainted with Himself in the mirror, and the two went through Looking Glass Land into Fairyland, where they met the great Foozlewhich, who turned out to be the palace cat, Milkeater. Then they got to China, where they met the Princess Oogalally, and all three went to the moon. It was real nice there, but they don't get married in the moon, so they wanted to come away, and the Man in the Moon showed them a door..." Prince Toofat went back through a mirror and found himself back in his own palace with Milkeater, who never said a word.

About the famous illustrator:
Robert Lawson (born October 4, 1892 in New York City – died May 27, 1957 in Westport, Connecticut) was an American artist and children's book author. He did some illustrations for The Century Magazine in 1919, and in 1922 he produced illustrations for his first book, Little Prince Too Fat. He won the Taylor Arms Prize of the Society of American Etchers in 1931, and was the first person to receive both the Newbery Medal (Rabbit Hill, 1945) and Caldecott Medal (They Were Strong and Good, 1940).

Lawson was a witty and inventive author, and his children's fiction can entertain all ages. He developed the idea of a person's life expressed through the eyes of a companion animal, and realized it first in Ben and Me: An Astonishing Life of Benjamin Franklin By His Good Mouse Amos. Later books employed the device, which was suited to his style of illustration, to other figures, Christopher Columbus, Paul Revere, and finally Captain Kidd's Cat (1956), which he also illustrated, narrates through the medium of the aforesaid feline, McDermot, the story of the famous pirate's ill-starred voyage, revealing him in the process as a brave, upright, honest, hen-pecked man betrayed by his friends and calumniated by posterity.

An Annual Conference is held in his honor in Westport.  He is buried in Mountain Grove Cemetery, Bridgeport, Connecticut.  Prince Toofat is the first book Lawson illustrated.
