Hitty is a doll of great charm and character. It is indeed a privilege to publish her memoirs, which, besides being full of the most thrilling adventures on land and sea, also reveal her delightful personality. One glance at her portrait will show that she is no ordinary doll. Hitty, or Mehitable as she was really named, was made in the early 1800s for Phoebe Preble, a little girl from Maine. Young Phoebe was very proud of her beautiful doll and took her everywhere, even on a long sailing trip in a whaler. This is the story of Hitty's years with Phoebe, and the many that follow in the life of a well-loved doll.

Jack Prelutsky found his natural rhythm when incorporating the mannerisms of zoo animals in his poetry. The reader will feel that they were part of the observation of each of the 45 zoo animals spoken about in Zoo Doings. From gophers to oysters to hippopotamus' Mr. Prelutsky has written a fun takes on well loved animals kids and adults see at the zoo. A lazy lion or the confusion of a zebra's stripes have been penned with clever thought and description of what one might see at the zoo. Each poem is crafted with an insightfulness an observer could miss when visiting zoo. The pictures created by Paul O. Zelinsky are hilarious and will have the reader laughing out loud. They are a perfect compliment to the poetry that they accompany. Hand drawn yet give off a feeling off a natural feeling of whimsy; the reader can literally envision the drawings on the wall of a child's playroom.
