I discovered author Ruth Krauss from her book A Hole is To Dig which is illustrated by Maurice Sendak. That book is life changing for a poet and children’s literature. I Can Fly is much more simple probably geared toward very young children but it is sweet with very cool ( but non-Sendak) artwork. Musical bonus on last page!!!

Crockett Johnson's wife gave us some of the best children's books for all ages as did her husband. Afficionados know that just as Barnaby by her husband was really for adults (as was Pogo by Walt Kelly, Krazy Kat by Herriman etc.), so were some of her tomes. She not only had Crockett illustrate some of her books but she attracted other superb illustrators such as Mary Blair, Maurice Sendak etc. Her books such as these titles and others like How To Make An Earthquake will hook both your children and your inner child.

When I was little I loved this book so much. I read it almost everyday and before I ever started writing my own stories I would make one up about the main character. Now I write for adults but I learned a lot about storytelling through Little Golden Books. I don't know where this book is now but I have most of them in my old room at my mom's house. I can't wait to add this one to my collection. It's imaginative and the color illustrations in sight your curiosity. Your children will love it. Very cute.

The art work by Mary Blair is delightful, clever, full of color and whimsy. The story is a great way to spark fun and imagination in children. I think children would enjoy seeing, hearing and reading this story again and again.

My grand daughters are so in to little golden books. Every one I get them especially the vintage ones, they are so happy with each and every one of them. They just want more and more of them.
