Review
"Young Imogene wakes up one morning to find she has sprouted antlers. Unflappable, Imogene takes the whole thing in stride; the same cannot be said for her mother, who faints every time her daughter comes into view.... The effervescent, softly colored illustrations incorporate all the humor inherent in the tale. A laugh-aloud read-aloud." Booklist
