A children's read-along story, Mr Gigglebottom is the adult male of the Gigglebottom household. He is the father and husband in a classic nuclear family and is a man who doesn't analyse the world too much and as a consequence quite happy and also a little carelessly minded. When he becomes fed up of going to work in his car because of the traffic congestion, he tries his own individual, and eccentric, ways of getting there.
