A sweet book from my own childhood, given to me probably around the time I went to kindergarten in the late 1960's. How could I not love this book? The main character shares my given name, and my own kindergarten experiences were delightfully similar.

Sweet survivor of another day - way back when I was young! Actually, I was already in high school when this book was written, but I remember the look, the dress, the atmosphere of the kindergarten of fifty years ago. Eloise Wilkin's sweet moppets make this book a visual delight, and make kindergarten seem like the best place there is. And it was.
