Go BIG! Roar Like A Dandelion! by Ruth Kraus

Sometimes you want to be POWERFUL.

CROW LIKE A ROOSTER.
MAKE THE SUN COME UP.

Sometimes you want to be CHANGE THINGS.

KICK AWAY THE SNOW
AND MAKE SPRING COME.

Sometimes you just want to make things BETTER.

X OUT ALL THE BAD STUFF.

It's go big or go home, in the notable Ruth Kraus' never-before-published Roar Like a Dandelion (HarperCollins, 2019), in which the charming little critters created by artist Sergio Ruzzier have their way through the usual ho-hum of alphabet books. A bunny blasts a piggie with a giant cornet; trees undress for the wintry season; a kitty searches for verses under a single bedstead; a poodle plays like a pine tree, and a political piglet casts a vote for himself--and all do their thing in alphabetical order, making Kraus' manuscript come alive for youngsters today in superbly silly style.

Kirkus joins the praise in a firmament of starred reviews, saying, "This work adroitly bridges the more-than-half-century gap between two accomplished artists.... An abecedarian catalog of delights."
