Got three.
Fourth – I give up.
Okay listing them here.
1. The Mixed-Up Chameleon
2. Papa please get the Moon for Me
3. Slowly Slowly Slowly Said the Sloth
4. a.The Tiny seed (Have first two words, cant get to ‘seed’)
or b. The Very Hungry Catterpillar (Have first two, cant get ‘catterpillar’)
A short line – the rail vehicles could be produced by Caterpillar, so maybe it is (b).
On the other hand , teeny-weeny could mean tiny..
Slightaa confused.
Sandhya or Boo might get it. Guys I’ve cracked the first three okay. So I get the prize. I don’t mind sharing with you though.
UTBT SAYS: FYI Readers. PV sent me an email with her answers. Though you don’t see it here, it counts.
Yo PV!
Chox you are right on the first 3. Fourth has to be ‘The tiny seed.’
teeny-weeny:tiny.
A short line:seed. My logic is this: line- next in line-heir-children- progeny-seed. Short line may point to the littleness of this, again more to do with seed than fruit-which can be a big line. What do you say? I know ot sounds a bit far-fetched, but even if inverted, I feel it is logic.
If it is right, wouldn’t mind sharing the award with you.
I thought the same Sandhya – teeny-weeny = tiny.
Seed – hmm, maybe.
Okay I keep 87.5% (see 4a above) of the award, you take 12.5% 😉
I should at least get teh award for maximum comments on thsi post
*runs before utbt pelts her with seeds, tiny and otherwise*
UTBT – please have more such quizzes – at least for Chox’s thoroughly entertaining comments 🙂

That’s what comes of counting our seeds before they are germinated, Chox- they go up-POOOOFFFF- in a cloud!
Great quiz, utbt. Made us put our rusty brains to work. You must have many more such. Have you done one on Roald Dahl or Dr Seuss? If not, can you sometime?
And congratulations, PV.
