"Hoadley considers herself blessed to have grown up with a stuttering challenge so daunting that it made the spoken word, and world, elusive. Except for conversations with close friends or family, Elizabeth preferred quiet observation over the agony of articulation."

Gris Grimly's Wicked Nursery Rhymes by Gris Grimly, Baby Tattoo Books
1 recommendation
"My newest favoritist illustrator, Mr. Gris Grimly (I'm assuming "Mr.",...) has two volumes of morbid retellings of classic nursery rhymes of which this is the first...perhaps some of the parody is obvious but it is fun and wicked and reminds you of the verse of Mr. Gorey...the illustrations continue to be fantastic making me think that Mr. Grimly is the bastard son of Tim Burton, Chas Addams and G..."
Boris and Bella by Carolyn Crimi, Illustrated by Gris Grimly
1 recommendation
"Quite honestly, I bought this book for the wonderful illustrations by the fantastic Gris Grimly. I bought it under the auspices that it was for our daughter but really it was for me. The scratchy inked lines with impressionistic washes of color are gorgeous but the greatest thing about Mr. Grimly's style is the unique ways he allows his free-flowing lines and splatters to abstract the figures......"
Cinderella Skeleton by Robert D. San Souci, Illustrated by David Catrow
1 recommendation
"The perfect retelling of the classic fairytale for the little ghoul in your life. It is fairly macabre (she loses her whole foot after the ball when it snaps off on the stairs) and of course all the main characters are skeletons or corpses but the illustrations are whimisical enough and the rhyming verse silly enough that none of it feels threatening..."

Not a Box by Antoinette Portis
1 recommendation
"This book is all about what kids know (and you clearly remember if you are reading this in my list on cardboard)- that sometimes the box is more fun to play with than what's inside it. Aimed at preschool-1st grade, anyone who has played with cardboard will appreciate rabbit and his flights of fancy."
See the World

It also contains advertising images for bus, train and shipping companies. Gives a very good feel for the time, and the embrace of a global world by aspiring grap..."
