From the text:

‘We could try peeling him like a banana,’ the Old-Green-Grasshopper suggested.
‘Or rubbing him with sandpaper,’ the Ladybird said.
‘Now if he stuck out his tongue,’ the Earthworm said, smiling a little for perhaps the first time in his life, ‘if he stuck it out really far, then we could all catch hold of it and start pulling. And if we pulled hard enough, we could turn him inside out and he would have a new skin!’
