Arm In Arm

By Remy Charlip

"It was a dark and stormy night..."

A wonderfully "silly" book, full of endless stories, funny pictures, reiterations and catchy, creative phrasing, Remy Charlip's Arm In Arm is one book that my six-year-old stepdaughter, Cerridwyn is always asking to read; among the many books my husband and I have bought her, this one is undoubtedly her all-time favorite and keeps her busy, reading and rereading, for literally hours at a time. Arm In Arm, reprinted 3 decades after it originally charmed readers, is a must in any child's library and is sure to be enjoyed by parents alike.
