MANY MOONS
by James Thurber
The 1944 Caldecott winner is delightfully re-illustrated by another Caldecott medalist. Slobodkin’s facile impressionistic line is replaced by Simont’s gentle caricatures – less elegant, perhaps, but a fine way to introduce this splendid, rather long story to new readers. Libraries will want to have both editions. (Picture book. 5-10)
