The illustrations are important throughout the story, adding little extras to your reading pleasure.

Unlike the young and inexperienced Newman, Kluger had a contract with Knopf, and enclosed a letter from its editor-in-chief, Robert Gottlieb. The delight for the readers is that they can follow what Bear is doing long before the truth is out. Another great example of how the illustrations in a picturebook can be used to tell a different story to that in the text. Hendrik Hertzberg, in a canny piece that appeared in this magazine on January 22, 1972, asked Anderson whether “Washington’s fondness for secrecy had grown in recent years.Local forest denizens hardly even noticed when the first branches of their trees started to disappear.

But Berry, Danzig, and Kluger had all been granted permission to see at least a portion of the Harvard papers, and the F. Whitten brought the photocopies and said, according to Broderick, that Anderson was to get “as much publicity and ballyhoo as possible,” making him promise not to tell anyone about the photocopies until Anderson could deliver them, in person, to the Librarian of Congress.The art was pretty great, sure, I had a laugh at the fact the animals (and humans) all have stick legs, or the orange nose-thingy that the humans have.

Once upon a time in a forest, many creatures lived happily alongside one another and in harmony with nature, until one day something very strange happened.

In 1978, in the wake of Watergate, Congress passed the Presidential Records Act, which made the papers of American Presidents the property of the federal government; destroying them is a federal crime. A charming story with incredibly detailled illustrations that would be a very rich source of oral language opportunities in a primary classroom.

Por otro lado, tanto la contraportada como la camisa de la edición especial guardan una grata sorpresa con la que entretener a los más pequeños. In a strange world that is startlingly similar to our own, all manner of creatures, including a red-haired boy, live subterranean lives under hollow trees.
