{"product_id":"tell-me-a-mitzi","title":"Tell Me a Mitzi","description":"\u003cb\u003eThree hilarious, quirky tales about a young city girl's adventures big and small, from taking a taxi to meeting the president.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLore Segal's classic children's book tells three stories about Mitzi and her family, whose lives unfold within a gritty and yet dreamy cityscape of stoops and row houses that seem to have emerged from a time out of time. 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.\r","brand":"Lore Segal, Harriet Pincus","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44469443657964,"sku":"9781681377957","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9781681377957.jpg?v=1709491551","url":"https:\/\/allstora.com\/products\/tell-me-a-mitzi","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
