It's a kids book -- each page is a different illustration and piece of prose from different children's books supposedly written by a man named Harris Burdick. The reader has no idea where in the stories these pages come from -- beginning, middle, or end -- and each causes you to start imagining the rest of the story. It's a really wonderful book with amazing illustrations and endless possibilities.

I haven't yet gotten to Little Nemo. Currently I'm reading your novel but it is next in the queue.

Ah, you've told me about that one before. I need to get my hands on it one of these days!

You're reading some lame-ass novel instead of Winsor McKay?!? Tsk, tsk. :-P

It's not lame-ass, it's quite good. I've got about a third to go.

I wasn't fishing, honest! But thank you very much; I'm glad to hear it.

I didn't think you were fishing. For some reason though, I'm feeling this overwhelming urge for a piece of cherry pie.

I get that same craving for Audrey Horne I MEAN CHERRY PIE at the oddest times.
