What's that on your Head? Imogene’s Antlers by David Small

Imogene’s Antlers by David Small

Imogene’s Antlers by David Small. Crown, 1985.

The fun begins on the first page when Imogene finds she grew antlers in the night. Right away, Imogene proves she’s a creative, fun-loving child. What child doesn’t have difficulties that feel as big as antlers? In a satisfying way, Imogene turns her predicament into a triumph, only her mother and principal remaining disturbed. The humor comes from the incongruent responses, and clever visual irony boosts the laughs.
