Gizmo

Barry Varella

What a wonderful, charming, enchanting .GIZMO! Nor sure I m sure exactly what it is, though.   Folks come from far and near to wonder and marvel and laugh and cheer and the Professor s machine, but when the city building inspector declares it a hazard and condemns the property, it s up to the art museum to save the day. This is quite simply the looniest picture book of the year--with tongue-twisting language that kids will adore stumbling over, and sensational illustrations to boot. A book about invention... but also about art!
