A cheerful “bunny rabbit gentleman” with a wonderful knack for setting things right. Kind, soothing and entertaining tales.
Also had to post the sublime graphic art of the 1961 board game:
Lin has written and drawn an absolutely gorgeous adventure, weaving traditional Chinese folktales into the story of a young heroine on a quest to change her family’s fortune.
A boy, his grandfather, and a handful of oddballs go on a quest in the wilds of Africa to search for the highly intelligent, massively large worms of Kukumlima. Bizarre, clever, funny, and sweet. Classic Pinkwater.
With a straightforward, informative, and personable tone, this book educates the younger set about babies, bodies, families and friends in an age-appropriate way (recommended for ages 4-8). An excellent entree to the birds and the bees.
For pubescent and prepubescent readers, the series also includes: It’s Perfectly Normal (1994) and It’s So Amazing (1999).
