Paperback Books by Vladimir Radunsky

A New York Review Children’s Collection Original An ALPHABET book? An ALBUM of old photos? We named it ALPHABETABUM. Here celebrated artists and authors Vladimir Radunsky and Chris Raschka put a delightful new old-fashioned spin on the alphabet book. Radunsky has selected portraits of children from his spectacular collection of antique black and-white photographs. Raschka has given the children names and written deliciously teasing rhymes about them. The result is ALPHABETABUM, a book of letters and pictures to which readers will happily return again and again both to look and to learn.

For a charming girl and an endearing mutt, friendship is just around the . . . hedge. These two lonely souls sit just opposite each other: She pining after a parade of passing dogs, he pining after a parade of passing owners. Until--finally--the girl and the mutt spot each other. You? they ask. You! they shout.

This is the story of a boy who peed on a war. It tells of a Belgian boy who lived in a walled town with adoring parents. They were all very happy, until enemies came to destroy the town and a terrible war began and went on for a long time, until he found an unusual way to put an end to it!

Four concept books by celebrated artist Vladimir Radunsky are collected in this box, inviting toddlers to enter the world of shapes. Each board book is in the form of a different geometric shape. Full color. Pkg.

Based on a Belgian legend, a boy who is separated from his parents shows his dislike for the raging war by doing his business right on the battle, thus causing both sides to stop fighting, have a laugh and, in the end, make peace with one another.

Chester teaches his good friend Dudunya about napkins, "full-mouthed speaking accidents," and other important aspects of proper mealtime behavior, in an amusing introduction to the history, rules, and regulations of proper dining etiquette.

Mr. and Mrs. Armadillo are very happy newlyweds who look forward to having a child, but get ten times the happiness they expected.

Why is speaking with your mouth full a bad idea, who is permitted to wave his napkin like a flag? These and other burning questions are answered in this guide to impeccable behaviour at meal-times. Illustrations splashed over a tablecloth background, and dialogue all make a very entertaining meal.
