Amazon.com's Best of 2001
Editors Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly have packed so much top-notch talent into this flabbergastingly funny all-ages comic collection that you'll have a terrible time deciding what to read first. Just as with the previous Little Lit book, Folklore & Fairy Tale Funnies, you'll find some of the most hilarious, intelligent, and diverse short comics around inside these pages: Maurice Sendak's omnivorous infant gobbles up everything in sight in "Cereal Baby Keller"; David Sedaris pairs up with Ian Falconer to define true cuteness; "Where's Waldo?" creator Martin Handford searches for old socks; Paul Auster (yes, that Paul Auster) and Jacques de Loustal's offering follows a man who's found he's disappeared; Crockett Johnson (Harold and the Purple Crayon) brings back the beginning of his classic '40s strip, "Barnaby" (a favorite of Duke Ellington and Dorothy Parker, among others); and Spiegelman himself takes on "The Several Selves of Selby Sheldrake." And that's not even the half of it. This downright quirky collection will charm comic fans of all ages--and, no doubt, make fans out of those who weren't already. Even the endpapers are funny, thanks to Kaz of "Underworld." (All ages after 9 or so) --Paul Hughes
From Booklist
Gr. 4-up. In this follow-up to their excellent Little Lit: Folklore & Fairy Tale Funnies (2000), Spiegelman and Mouly offer another collection of wildly original graphic stories from well-known contributors. This volume emphasizes the surreal. There's Spiegelman's bizarre story of a boy whose multiple personalities appear when he picks his nose. And there's Maurice Sendak's "Baby Keller," an omnivorous man-child who eats everything, including his parents. Teens (and adults) will like the stylish, ironic seek-and-find that directs readers to search for "Hiccupping Ghost" and "Big Idea Stuck in a Tree"; other stories, such as Ian Falconer and David Sedaris' hilarious "Pretty Ugly," will delight younger children. A few entries, such as Crockett Johnson's tale, seem out of place among the other edgy choices. But whether the stories are elegant fantasies, grotesque horror, or gross-out humor, they will excite readers of many ages with their range of styles and visual possibilities. Gillian Engberg

Beautifully drawn and written.
21. Oktober 2001
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The second volume of Little Lit is definitely not a dissapointment - if anything, with is intricate stories and exquisite finish, it is better than its precedessor. Little Lit 2 offers stories by famous artists such as Art Spiegelman, Barbara McClintock, and many others. The stories are original in their plot as well as art form - from monochrome panels to crowded almost iridescent splash pages and complete with mind games, Little Lit 2 is a compelation of stories for young kids as well as their immature at heart parents.
It is a great book to give as a gift due to its exceptional size. Also, it may prove excellent to read your children before bedtime. And since it's a book that can be re-read multiple times (there's always something new to discover in it), you can give to your kids and they'll play for hours.
I highly recommend it for hardcore comic book fans as well as those who like original stories.

Perfect book for the slightly skewed no matter their age!
28. Februar 2002
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Is there a child in your life who might answer the question "What did you do today?" by saying "Resisted entropy." ?
Are you a fan of "Raw" and would you like your nieces and nephews to grow up like you (to spite your siblings)?
Even if you're just looking for a good thought-provoking read, this is a great book to buy...it'll even decorate your coffee table nicely. Ian Falconer (Caldecott Honor author/illustartor of "Olivia") teams with essayist David Sedaris (that alone should make you hop up to go investigate!) Barbara McClintock, Maurice Sendak, Jules Feiffer--what, you still haven't hit the "add to shopping cart" button? They all have their pages or stories in this wonderful collection.
This is what children's books should be! A brother and sister defeat evil Jack Frost with a hair drier, a young boy gets trapped in a comic book (can you imagine how boring the fights would get after a while?) games...maze-stories in which YOU decide the ending...
Excellent no matter your age. And the end papers will teach you to draw comics! Happy Reading!

More eclectic....high profile creators!
8. Juli 2002
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The stories in Volume One of this series were based on fairy tales. Volume Two is far more eclectic, with a wide variety of styles and some pretty high profile creators.
Kaz teaches you some "Strange Cartoon Lessons" on the endpapers, Maurice (Where The Wild Things Are) Sendak offers "Cereal Baby Keller," Jules Fieffer gets you "Trapped In A Comic Book" and Crockett (Harold and the Purple Crayon) Johnson tells the tales of "Barnaby." My favorite story by far is "Pretty Ugly" by Ian Falconer and David Sedaris.
I'm not quite sure that Volume Two lives up to the standard created by Volume One. That's not to say it's not a great book, but it seems a lot less focused (not necessarily a bad thing though...). But, like Volume One, it's fun-fun-fun for all ages!
Highly recommended!
