Caroline, realistically pictured in the book's first half during a typical lonely day, wakes up next morning to transcribe a dream: the children band together to build a parent trap that's baited with films, videos, and free popcorn--once caught, an adult would ``never run away'' but, rather, be available for companionship and solace. In the end, Caroline's friends admire her story and do help build a playhouse-trap--with the happy implication that some adults may get the point.

This book was recently withdrawn from publication by the steward of Geisel's literary legacy, Dr. Seuss Enterprises, due to certain stereotypes featured in one of the images in the book. One of six now-banned Dr. Seuss titles, this one for its portrayal of The "Nazzim of Bazzim" a human of apparent Middle-Eastern origin, mounted upon a Camelid Dromedary called a Spazzim.

Junior Kroll
by: Paraskevas, Betty and Michael

Hardcover. NY, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1st, 1993, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket. Color illustrations by Michael Paraskevas. In triumph and disaster, Junior Kroll has a comical way of altering the course of events. He plays in a kazoo quartet, frees the dinner party lobsters, steals one neighbor's roses as a present for another, and decorates Grandfather's birthday cake with "little chocolate flies." Michael Paraskevas's zany illustrations bring these offbeat, bittersweet poems to life.

Vintage & Collectible Children's Picture Books

This section brings together used, rare and out-of-print children's illustrated books, where the artwork matters as much as the story. Expect picture books, illustrated readers and treasuries from a range of decades and artists, such as W.W. Denslow's Denslow's Picture Book Treasury and Emily Arnold McCully's Crossing the New Bridge.

You will also find storybook favorites like Jan Wahl's A Gift for Miss Milo, Randall Jarrell's Fly by Night and Philippe Dumas's Caesar: Cock of the Village. Many titles are earlier printings or hard-to-find editions prized for their plates, endpapers and jacket art, and are described down to their condition and binding.

As with all used and rare stock, condition and availability differ between copies. Most are single copies, so order online while yours is listed.
