THE JUDGE. An Untrue Story
Harve Zemach, Margot Zemach
Hardcover
(Farrar Straus Giroux, March 15, 1969)
The fiery old Judge, impatient with foolish nonsense, calls prisoners scoundrels, ninnyhammers, and throws them all in jail. In the end, though, justice is done. . . The Judge is a rowdy and most satisfying comedy. Harve Zemach's verse tale is so infectious that children won't be able to avoid memorizing it; and Margot Zemach has elaborated it in pictures that are as handsome as they are hilarious.
