# The Wonder Book - Hardcover

by **Amy Krouse Rosenthal** (Author), **Paul Schmid** (Illustrator)

**From the beloved _New York Times_ bestselling author of _I Wish You More_, Amy Krouse Rosenthal, "a joyous, totally original potpourri of stories, poems, lists, palindromes, visual jokes, and random observations about the universal delights and conundrums of childhood."\***

Reminiscent of classics like _Falling Up_ from Shel Silverstein, this 80-page black-and-white book is meant for sharing and taps into the delightfully inquisitive world of a child.

Amy Krouse Rosenthal said it best:

_Hello, You!_

_So . . . this book is full of stuff I've always wondered about . . ._

_Like:_

-   _Did Miss Mary Mack have friends who liked other colors?_
-   _Could everything important about the world be summarized in a poem that rhymes?_
-   _How do moms always know when you're about to sneak a cookie?_
-   _Who hid something under the Tooth Fairy's pillow when she was a little girl?_

_Inside you will find stories, short poems, lists, palindromes, visual treats, and random observations. Some parts are happy, some sad-ish, some silly, some serious, some crunchy, some with a soft center._

_You can open the book up anywhere and read. So the beginning could be the end, and the end could be the beginning. But I guess the middle is always the middle. . . ._

_P.S. Aren't Paul's drawings the best?!_
