An Anteater Named Arthur
Bernard Waber
Houghton Mifflin/Walter Lorraine Books
, 1977
Fun, poignant, and brilliantly illustrated
I loved this book when I was a 5 year old some 30 years ago, and now my son loves it also. It's fun and clever, and the illustrations hark back to a different era when 6-color printing wasn't necessary to hold a child's attention--this one uses just two colors--and yet ...
Evie and Margie

Nobody Is Perfick (Sandpiper)
Bernard Waber
Houghton Mifflin/Walter Lorraine Books
, 1991
One Most Remembered From Childhood -- often recounted!
As a child I adored this book and the characters -- I found them so easy to identify with as they would try to work on character flaws such as losing mittens and slouching. The final story gives an important & powerful message in such a simple format that I have ...

Smiles
This is a hilarious book. The laughs and giggles will start unexpectedly, but very early on. Soon you will be guffawing or chortling at every page. And the humor is syncopated. That is, the funniness has unexpected and unusual timing. This is also a visually beautiful ...
