| Summary | "The Slant Book" by Peter Newell is a whimsical children's poem published in the early 20th century. This book narrates the adventurous escapades of a boy named Bobby whose runaway go-cart wreaks havoc as it careens down a steep hill. Through its playful and illustrative verses, the book captures the chaos and joyful mischief of childhood, making it a delightful read for young audiences. The story follows Bobby’s thrilling ride as his go-cart breaks away and accelerates downhill, causing various comical incidents along the way. Bobby’s wild journey includes colliding with a police officer, smashing through a painter's supplies, and creating chaos at a picnic. Each encounter is met with humorous consequences that highlight the silliness and excitement of a child’s imagination. Ultimately, the go-cart's thrilling descent concludes when it crashes into a tree, allowing Bobby to make a graceful exit into a heap of hay, leaving readers with a sense of cheerful mayhem and delight.
