Tell Me a Mitzi

Three hilarious, quirky tales about a young city girl's adventures big and small. Mitzi lives with her mother and father and her baby brother in the big city where every day is an adventure. Or at least Mitzi makes it one, though sometimes the adventure is more than a little surprising. One day it's time to pay an impromptu visit to her grandparents. And what will happen when the president comes to town? Who knows what Mitzi will get up to next? In Tell Me a Mitzi Lore Segal's droll dialogue and off-kilter storytelling is beautifully matched by Harriet Pincus's gritty and colorful illustrations. These are stories that capture childhood in all its puzzlement, resourcefulness, and unsentimental wonder.
