One Brilliant & Hilarious Book
I don't know why this book isn't in the pantheon of classic children's books. For those of you who know and love Crictor by Tomi Ungerer (the same author/illustrator) about a sweet and heroic boa constrictor, you may love this even more. I can't say much because the book itself is too delightful a surprise, but this is well worth a read and belongs among Ungerer and Children's books best! I used to work at a kids bookstore! Believe me, I know!
