Three hilarious, quirky tales about a young city girls adventures big and small, from taking a taxi to meeting the president. nLore Segals classic childrens book tells three stories about Mitzi and her family, whose lives unfold within a gritty and yet dreamy cityscape of stoops and row houses that seem to have emerged from a time out of time. In the first story, Mitzi dresses up her baby brother and sets out with him to visit their grandparents, a venturesome undertaking that takes a curious turn when a key piece of information proves missing. In the second, Mitzis whole family falls sick, but a fool-proof remedy rides in to the rescue. In the last, the president comes to town and Mitzis day is made. Lore Segals droll dialogue and off-kilter storytelling are beautifully complemented by Harriet Pincuss unnervingly earnest and goofy underground comic-book style illustrations, which won the praise of Maurice Sendak. These are stories about childhood independence and family closeness that capture childhood in all its puzzlement, resourcefulness, unsentimental wonder. nMitzi lives with her mother and father and her baby brother in the big city where every day is an adventure. Or at least Mitzi makes it one, though sometimes the adventure is more than a little surprising. One day its time to pay an impromptu visit to her grandparents. And what will happen when the president comes to town? Who knows what Mitzi will get up to next? n nIn Tell Me a Mitzi Lore Segals droll dialogue and off- kilter story telling is beautifully matched by Harriet Pincuss gritty and colorful illustrations. These are stories that capture childhood in all its puzzlement, resourcefulness, and unsentimental wonder. nThree hilarious, quirky tales about a young city girls adventures big and small. n n Mitzi lives with her mother and father and her baby brother in the big city where every day is an adventure.
