Full-page pen-and-ink drawings are panoramic and most vibrant when depicting the familiar Chester, Harry Cat, and Tucker." --<i>Booklist</i> <p/>"Thoughtful but unpretentious, humorous without more cleverness, this is nothing less than a good story, well told and sympathetically illustrated." --<i>School Library Journal</i> <p/>"Williams's big, breathtaking pen-and-ink drawings almost steal the show from the author." --<i>Publisher's Weekly</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>George Selden </b>(1929-1989) was the author of <i>A Cricket in Times Square</i>, winner of the 1961 Newbery Honor and a timeless children's classic.
