(1) PS Illustrated by James Marshall. Lear's famous poem receives an irreverent, gently playful rendition. A cruise ship escorts the Owl and his fiancée, the profoundly clothes-conscious Pussycat, from Pier 23, laden with suitcases marked for ports of call around the world. In an afterword, Maurice Sendak is exactly right when he pronounces that, with this last book, Marshall's "charming slap-happiness [is] now wed to an odd poignancy that conjure[s] a sweet new essence."
Reviewer: Susan P. Bloom | Horn Book Magazine Issue: March, 1999
