The Strange Appearance of Howard Cranebill

Reissue (1982, Lothrop)
(3) K-3 One morning Mr. and Mrs. Cranebill find "a basket...with a little baby lying in it..." And what a baby it is, with "an unusually long and pointy nose." After a childhood filled with nose-related mishaps, Howard transforms into a stork and flies south for the winter. Drescher's deadpan text is the perfect foil for the inspired lunacy of the drawings.
