Dinsmore spends all his spare time at the tip writing his school project on the "great merry-go-round of the world". He becomes so encrusted with dirt that McTurk's special grass seed takes root all over his body. Not surprisingly, he is expelled from school, but is employed by McTurk to advertise his lawn seed. For ages 6 to 10.
