New ed. (1972)
(2) 1-3 Eight snappy vignettes look at various familiar child predicaments: trying not to daydream in class, laughing so hard you can't even explain what's funny, being compared to a perfect-seeming child. The text is all dialogue, the illustrations are sketchlike, and both are spot-on with their child logic and humor. This edition's format is more novel-like than the "small and squarish" original.
