GOO ON THE LOOSE
BURBLE, BUBBLE, GURGLE, GASS. The Goo has escaped…and now…it’s spreading. Goo was chasing, creeping, slithering and leaving slime everywhere in its wake! The siblings scolded it, but it didn’t listen. They tried to put it in timeout, but it wouldn’t fit in the corner. They took away its dessert, but it threw a tantrum on the floor. Will these brave siblings get this sticky, stretchy, globby Goo under control before mom gets home? Will it take over their home, the dog…the TV!? Please no, not the TV!
