Quentin Fenton Herter III
by: MacDonald/Giselle Potter, Amy

New York, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1st, 2002, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket, unpaginated, color illustrations by Giselle Potter, very clean, tight copy, like new. Quentin Fenton Herter Third always does exactly what he should, from closing his mouth when he chews to putting away his toys. But Quentin Fenton has an awfully naughty shadow, who calls himself Quentin Fenton Herter Three. Three interrupts, stays up late, and never flosses. How do these two feel about each other? "They loathed each other cordially,/ did Quentin Third and Quentin Three." Strangely enough, though, they also envy each other "--a bit." And when good little Third has the opportunity to be bad one day, guess who steps in to take his place as a perfect gentleman?Amy MacDonald's clever rhymes are nicely complemented by Giselle Potter's unusual, naive-style illustrations.
