This imaginative story from Ruth Krauss—one of the most beloved children’s book authors of all time—and celebrated artist Sergio Ruzzier is a remarkable collaboration that captures the timeless spirit of Krauss’s signature wit and humor.

Paired with Ruzzier’s irresistible drawings, this story will delight readers of all ages and inspire them to roar like dandelions. A perfect gift for the holidays, Valentine’s Day, and graduation!“An abecedarian catalog of delights.” —Kirkus (starred review)“Each page offers its own adventure; taken together, the spreads create an irresistible, deliciously subversive invitation to turn one’s back on the tiresome.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)“With a nod to the fanciful, this alphabetic listing of activities invites readers’ imaginations to soar.” —School Library Journal (starred review)“Ruzzier creates a visual narrative with reoccurring characters.

This small gem will encourage imaginative wordplay and movement.” —Shelf Awareness (starred review)
