Abstract

en_US An excellent book. Though it seems to exploit every possibility the story offers, it does so with good art and good sensibility. Ink-and-watercolor combine for lively art of varying sizes. Craig's presentation develops many new possibilities. Tyler from town finds Charlie's food boring but allows I suppose it's good for you. Tyler asks for evening entertainment and gets the sunset; his reaction: Too slow. Tyler cannot sleep because it is too dark and quiet. A carrier pigeon gives the two a lift to town, where they run into a huge growling cat...on the screen of a movie theater! Charlie is hit by a runaway pineapple. Craig offers a great visual of one table made up of multiple sections across two pages. Charlie has to hide in the springs of a sofa. Overnight, he has nightmares, and soon returns home on a milk-truck. Craig creates strong contrasting full-page nightlife scenes from town and country, just as she gives a good contrast on the end papers and facing pages. See Candlewick's paperbound version in 1995.
