Song
It’s a MATT Ruff book!to the tune of “Secret Agent Man”
There’s a man who wrote a book with voices.
E’vry soul makes odd and quirky choices.
With Andy, Gage and Jake,
A fiction risk they take.
Odds are they will Set This House in Order.
It’s a MATT Ruff book!
It’s a MATT Ruff book!
We’re giving him some choc’late
And letting him wear the crown.
