Review
This reissue from Bernard Waber includes eight vignettes of childhood dilemmas and issues. It is written as a graphic novel, though there is only one scene on each page. Illustrations feel more like sketches, with, at times, an almost pointillist feel to them. Issue in the stories include focusing on homework, waiting for rain so new rainboots can be worn, whether or not to share a diary, and more. They are issues with which children will identify. Childlike logic and humor are right on target. Not a Wimpy Kid, but a book children will pick up and read.
Overall Book Score: fair
