Staff Pick
A favorite picture book of mine that is both magical and comforting, this classic encourages the whimsy that is so unique to children. And breathtaking illustrations by Barbara Cooney help, too! Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:What happens when it's bimulous and the sky is like lace? Strange and splendid things! Otters sing, trees dance, and the grass is like gooseberry jam. There's a special party that anyone can attend. Anyone, that is, who knows the rules and isn't afraid of plum-purple shadows, can cook spaghetti and would like to teach a new song to the otters.
Back by popular demand, this whimsical picture book illustrated by Caldecott Medal-winner Barbara Cooney's lush watercolors is as resonant today as when it was first published almost thirty years ago.
