Description:
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Hyperion Press, 1994. Not Indicated . Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. Color Illustrations. First edition. From Publishers Weekly Two children ice-fishing with their grandfather express their dread of the watery depths in this playful story. "The ice, two feet thick, shimmered a strange blue and white. The water was dark and mysterious," writes Friend (My Head Is Full of Colors), as a fish's-eye view of the hole in the ice helps set an ominous mood. As she and Grandpa exchange winks, narrator Katie wonders aloud if she or her brother Mark will land a horrible "Frecklebelly Chubsucker," "Ninespine Cisco" or "Sawfin Stickleback," thus setting the stage for a good practical joke. Yaccarino (Big Brother Mike) selects a bizarre palette of lurid oranges complemented by turquoise and astroturf green. He paints highly stylized, rubbery figures with tiny limbs and wide, Pepto-Bismol-pink faces; Mark has the additional distinction of…

Description:
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Doubleday, 1990. First edition. From Publishers Weekly In spite of the promise of this book's title, nothing could prepare the reader for the wackiness inside. The well balanced combination of text and artwork engenders utter lunacy on a scale that defies description. The rhyming text holds more to a concept than to an actual story line. "Silly hats are there to hide / some very silly heads / inside!" is accompanied by a picture of several odd people losing their hats in a windstorm, only to reveal that their weirdly contorted heads are in the exact configurations of the hats that blew off. Short anecdotes of the exploits of truly silly people are enhanced by numerous sight gags; the illustrations teem with odd contraptions that must be examined closely to savor their intricacies. Cole's original brand of humor and offbeat point of view are only two of the rewards to be gleaned from this delightful free fall from sanity. Ages 4-8. Copyright 1990 Reed…
