Strand Notes

The story is constructed upon 13 words that move from bird to mezzo-soprano. Our birds starts out feeling "despondent"; his dog friend tries to cheer him by buying him a hat from the "haberdashery". There are a few headscratchers along the way, i.e. the dog has our bird paint 11 ladders in 10 colors. Maira Kalman's quirky artwork is a perfect fit, littered with fun detail - a rain cloud overhead, a book by Kafka lying nearby. Color illus. 40p. (Ages: 4-8).

Description

From bestselling author Lemony Snicket and celebrated illustrator Maira Kalman comes an uproarious, whimsical word book like no other.

Together, Snicket and Kalman present a strikingly beautiful journey woven from a practical introduction to thirteen wonderful words, featuring such marvels as Bird, Dog, Panache, and Haberdashery. Snicket, the notoriously clever and elusive New York Times bestselling author, pushes the boundaries of storytelling in the most fanciful of ways. Maira Kalman, renowned for her art and design, carries this madcap adventure to wondrous heights with her vision of a world populated with hats, song, and cake. This rollicking, surprising book is a true celebration of words.
