(3) PS Oliver's anxiety about a new sibling precipitates a meltdown in which he fantasizes about throwing his mother in a trash can and banging on the lid with a stick. There have been other honest depictions of children's violent reactions to new babies, but this humorous and reassuring reissue (in a slightly larger format with the original drawings colorized by Alexander) still resonates.
