Kitten Nell
Dick Bruna ~ Follett, both published 1963
English translation on both by Sandra Greifenstein
Wow. After spring break and a sick dog and traveling and helping post-op family, the books I've been wanting to review are - literally - piling up around my desk. I spent spring break reading to my son from the first edition James and the Giant Peach I scored in Seattle. I've read that story to him at least five times, but was happy that now he will finally have those wonderful illustrations associated with it in his memory bank. The thing was in serious mint condition when I bought it five days ago and already it's in noticeably lesser condition, but who cares! I really just wanted it for my son to enjoy forever.
That said, I'll start the Great Monday Give back up next week, but in the meantime, I'm just happy that the world is back to normal for a while. I wanted to start this week by celebrating that happiness with two Dick Bruna's I've been saving to share.


Its six bright flags are blowing.
They're waving all the people in,
And everybody's going.
Meet the circus master and his marvelous medley of wonders. Monkeys on bicycles! A tightrope walker! Lions and elephants and seals, oh my! The Dutchman Bruna always pleases with his bold color and primary flair for whimsy.


A different kind of cat...
