The 1944 Caldecott winner is delightfully reillustrated by another Caldecott medalist. Slobodkin's facile impressionistic line is replaced by Simont's gentle caricatures--less elegant, perhaps, but a fine way to introduce this splendid, rather long story to new readers. Libraries will want to have both editions. 1990, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, $14.95. © 1990 Kirkus Reviews/VNU eMedia, Inc. All rights reserved.Horn Book (The Horn Book Guide, 1990)
