| Publisher Description: Peewee's in the box Peewee the dog doesn't know any tricks, "not a single one not even how to roll over not even how to shake hands but never mind he is so teeny weeny that everybody loves him," the clown, the fat lady, the thin man, the huge tall giant, the strong baby, the acrobats, the elephants, and all the other amazing performers in the wonderful circus of the man with the quite tall red hat. But then something unexpected happens that threatens to bring Peewee's time under the Big Top to an end. Now Open the Box is a beautiful example of the art of Dorothy Kunhardt, the author of the timeless classic Pat the Bunny and the pioneering picture book Junket Is Nice. Here Kunhardt speaks with wonderfully reassuring directness to children's hopes and fears while making magic out of the simplest things. |
