Have you ever eaten so many taffies at once that your jaw got stuck and had to be pried open with your father’s tools? I have. Have you ever been chased by police officers who thought you’re a criminal? Yep, I have. BUT DON’T JUDGE ME YET. Have you ever saved a giraffe at the zoo? I have. Have you ever saved someone’s hearing? Done that too. I’m Calamity Kalman, Cal-Kal for short. I make messes. But I clean them up. Often by accident. If you ask me my opinion, I’m a pretty good kid. But my pen just burst and ink got all over my pants, so I have to go. Speak to you soon… inside this book!
