BIOGRAPHIES
dePaola, Tomie

26 Fairmount Avenue

(1) K-3 In a disarmingly unselfconscious reminiscence, the popular illustrator recounts the events that surrounded his family's move to the address of the title, in Meriden, Connecticut, when he was five years old. The immediacy of detail resists nostalgia, and dePaola is wise to what recent graduates of his picture books will find interesting. Neat sketches and silhouettes will draw browsers in to this satisfying easy chapter book.
