Illustrated by
Kevin Hawkes.
Bartleby Huddle has never uttered a word, a source of concern to his boisterous family. The clamor to get Bartleby to speak reaches a fever pitch at his third birthday--where Grampy Huddle, attuned to life's quieter pleasures, comes in. Hawkes's riotous illustrations extend Cruise's lively text, portraying the high-decibel Huddles as being similarly loud in appearance as they are in volume.
