Summary: Imogene...You've Got to Love Her
Review: "On Thursday, when Imogene woke up, she found she had grown antlers." So begins award winning author and illustrator, David Small's silly, funny, very charming story. Imogene has quite a day trying to get dressed, walking through doorways and under chandeliers. And she finds her antlers are useful too, for drying laundry and feeding birds. Her family is puzzled, the doctor can't find anything wrong, her school principal has no advice and her brother thinks she's turning into a rare miniature elk. Everyone's upset but Imogene. After dinner, Imogene goes to bed, dreaming of her very unusual day. "On Friday, when Imogene woke up, the antlers had disappeared." Her family is overjoyed to see her back to her normal self, until she walks into the room..... Imogene's Antlers is a magical story that's perfect for kids 4-8 years old. The delightful, simple text is secondary to Mr Small's wonderful, expressive illustrations and youngsters will laugh out loud as they watch Imogene and her family's antics as they get through the day. Imogene's Antlers is a classic that will be enjoyed for generations to come and a MUST for all home libraries!

Review: What's a girl to do when she wakes up with antlers on her head?

I remember this book from way back when! It had such a magical, whimsical quality that stayed with me for a long time. The story is told simply with wry humor and the illustrations are crips and clean. It's so good to see it back in print for a whole new generation to discover. I've already introduced it to my friend's child who now wants to wear antlers for halloween. If you never read this as a kid, then run out and read it now. You won't regret it.
