Henry Hikes to Fitchburg and Henry Climbs a Mountain
WEB EXCLUSIVE
$11 each, amazon.com By D. B. Johnson (Houghton Mifflin, $15, ages 4 and up). The first (Hikes to Fitchburg), and the best (Climbs a Mountain) of D. B. Johnson's picture book transposition of some of the thought of Henry David Thoreau. How could this work as a picture book for little kids? It does, and also as one for bigger kids, and grown-ups. A milestone in American illustration. — Winter 2006 By Daniel Pinkwater
