Overview
With deft strokes of his pen and a witty voice to match, master illustrator and storyteller Munro Leaf captured the whimsy and innocence of childhood for an entire generation of readers. Now, more than fifty years later, those same readers are passing these stories down to their children and their children's children, and Munro Leaf's collection of children's books has reached iconic status. Collected here, for the first time, in one affordable volume, are some of Leaf's most beloved childhood guides. With a charming mixture of fatherly concern and kind-hearted humor, Leaf helped an entire generation of children (and one or two adults) learn how to behave like proper grown ups without ever coming across like a scold.
