Dozens of Cousins - Hardcover

by Shutta Crum (Author), David Catrow (Illustrator)

"We are wild and fierce. We do not wait for invitations." It's time for the annual family reunion, and the dozens of cousins are running wild like beasties. Like hungry ogres! They hug fluttering aunts and soft-spoken elders, play in the creek, shimmy up trees, take "double-dog dares," and devour "the sweet juiciness of the world" along with hot dogs and watermelon. Hilarious side stories unfold in Catrow's fantastically colorful, chaotic spreads that gambol and splash with comical caricatures of grinning kinfolk large and small. A lively, lyrical celebration of the sweet, sweet abandon of running amok among those who love you best.
