Editorial Reviews
From Kirkus Reviews
Willard (The Good-Night Blessing Book, 1996, etc.), in something of a creative risk, combines assemblages of US postage stamps with photographed tableaux of dolls, angels, and ``sculptures and other oddities'' (according to the copyright page) to illustrate this epistolary tale of a wildly errant traveler. When his car breaks down, Tottem Perhaps wanders into a trackless cornfield, precipitating a series of odd adventures and encounters--all of which he reports to his cousin Bottom on hand- written, appropriately stamped-and-canceled post cards. Eventually arrested in ``Hat Creek, CA'' for not wearing a hat, and jailed in ``Truth Or Consequences, NM,'' Tottem floats to ``Wise River, MT,'' then passes through other actual towns before finding the cornfield's edge at last near ``Happy, TX.'' Sharp-eyed readers will chuckle over the Ethel Waters stamp among the Wise River note's waterfowl, Babe Ruth and a fishing fly called ``Lefty's Deceiver'' used to post the card from ``Left Hand, WV,'' and a squad of smiling faces from Happy. This witty travelogue makes a natural companion to Vera B. Williams's Stringbean's Trip to the Shining Sea (1988). (Picture book. 6-8) -- Copyright ©1997, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
From Horn Book
When Tottem, a soft sculpture creature, gets lost in a cornfield, he encounters a magical mailbox that sends postcards to his cousin, Bottom. There is no logic to Tottem's bizarre travels as he passes through some unusually named places, such as Sleepy Eye, Minnesota, and Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania. Collages, photographs, sculptures, and reproductions of U.S. postage stamps adorn the pages, while the postcard texts relay Tottem's peculiar adventures. -- Copyright © 1997 The Horn Book, Inc.... |
