WE WERE TIRED OF LIVING IN A HOUSE by Liesel Moak Skorpen, pictures by Doris Burn. 1969 Hardcover 9.5 x 9 inches, 40 pages. Coward-McCann Inc. Publishers, Weekly Reader's Book Club editionOne Potato Review
Picaresque and melodic:
“So we packed our bags with sweaters
and scarlet leaves and gold
and a frog who was a particular friend
and precious stones that caught and held the sun.”
Here is cabin fever taken to its logical extremes. You could save yourself a couple of bucks and get the newer version illustrated by Joe Cepeda, but this one is the best.
