How delightful it is to run away once more with Elmer Elevator on his mission of mercy to rescue the blue dragon of Wild Island! And how easy it is to believe our practical hero's impeccable logic in all things. Of course twenty-five peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are sufficient to feed the stowaway on his voyage to the Island of Tangerina. Naturally thirty-one tangerines will see him through the adventures of Wild Island. Oh, but such adventures! Gannett's story just keeps expanding the boundaries of her surrealist vision. Then, the wonderfully correct wild animal drawings of Ruth Chrisman Gannett are added to illustrate this vision. Realistic these pencil sketches may seemuntil the lion ties his mane in ribbons, the rhinoceros begins using toothbrush and paste to polish his horn, and the crocodile/lollipop bridge turns completely mind-blowing-and beats the pants off Aesop, to boot. Yes, this is the 60th Anniversary Edition of the beloved Newbery Honor book. It retains the marvelous color endpaper maps of Tangerine and Wild Island, while adding an author's note and brief biographies of both its writer, Ruth Stiles Gannett, and its illustrator, Ruth Chrisman Gannett (R.S.G.'s stepmother.) The end result remains irresistible. Reviewer: Kathleen Karr
