Tippintown: A Guided Tour

32 pp. | Houghton | April, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-618-14972-4 $$16.00
(3) K-3 A blue-faced gentleman sporting the nose of an elephant leads a tour of Tippintown, a place where banana asparagus stew is served for lunch and gargoyles roam parks. An easy, engaging lilt characterizes the rhyming verse. Rendered in a flat perspective, the quirky illustrations recall the hip work of Maira Kalman. A bit derivative? Sure, but kids who love the eccentric will surely appreciate this zany outing.
