The three stories mix fantasy with reality and are told with naturalness and warmth. The illustrations, so filled with details and surprises they invite repeated scrutiny, have verity and vitality, poignancy and endearing humor." —Booklist, starred review"A remarkable joint tour de force." —The Washington Post Book World"This is possibly one of the funniest books in print." —The Saturday Review"The fantasy is as real as tomorrows ice cream cone, the three Mitzi stories more than bulls-eyes. . . . A triumph." —Kirkus"[The first book I fell in love with] was a childrens book called Tell Me a Mitzi by Lore Segal and illustrated by Harriet Pincus. My mother used to read this to me every night before I went to sleep. Its a story about a little girl who takes her baby brother out on adventures around the city while their parents are sleeping. I loved it because it was about the pleasures of radical independence and the discovery of the world. And because I so deeply loved my little brother. To this day, my mother still calls me Mitzi." —Ottessa Moshfegh"Tell Me a Mitzi hums with the Sendakian weirdness of its era ... all family stories, those quirky episodes from childhood that children love to hear told about themselves ... the entire amusing escapade unimaginable today." —Meghan Cox Gurdon, The Wall Street Journal"The stories are based in realism but then freely depart from it... and this structure calls to my mind my Jewish-immigrant grandpa who made up tales to tell his nine grandkids... Its now new again — ready to charm the next generation." — Pamela Rafalow Grossman, Kveller Details ISBN1681377950 Author Harriet Pincus Pages 40 Audience Age 4-8 Publisher The New York Review of Books, Inc Year 2024 Illustrator HARRIET PINCUS ISBN-13 9781681377957 Format Hardcover Imprint The New York Review of Books, Inc Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States Audience Children / Juvenile DEWEY FIC Publication Date 2024-06-25 US Release Date 2024-06-25 ISBN-10 1681377950 UK Release Date 2024-06-25 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
