In the first story, Mitzi dresses up her baby brother and sets out with him to visit their grandparents, a venturesome undertaking that takes a curious turn when a key piece of information proves missing. In the second, Mitzi's whole family falls sick, but a fool-proof remedy rides in to the rescue. In the last, the president comes to town and Mitzi's day is made. Lore Segal's droll dialogue and off-kilter storytelling are beautifully complemented by Harriet Pincus's unnervingly earnest and goofy underground comic-book style illustrations, which won the praise of Maurice Sendak. These are stories about childhood independence and family closeness that capture childhood in all its puzzlement, resourcefulness, unsentimental wonder.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nyrb Kids\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/25\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781681377957\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs","brand":"Lore Segal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44087320674485,"sku":"9781681377957","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_dfb3018c-5305-4b14-8b28-0cafac53efee.jpg?v=1714457507","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/tell-me-a-mitzi-9781681377957","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
