Edwin Speaks Up

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Sophie Blackall. Though Edwin's just a baby, he's the one who notices the car keys in his brother's shoe, his mother's purse on top of the car, etc. He tries to tell Mom--"Figbutton noo noo POCKY BOOKY froppin ROOF"--but all she hears is babbling. Blackall's delicately lined illustrations, in Chinese ink, watercolor, and gouache, feature a lively family of (elegantly garbed) ferrets.
