Reviews"Small maximizes the inherent humor of the absurd situation. Hilarious, with a subtle lesson in acceptance."--(starred) School Library Journal . "Young Imogene wakes up one morning to find she has sprouted antlers. Unflappable, Imogene takes the whole thing in stride; the same cannot be said for her mother, who faints every time her daughter comes into view....The effervescent, softly colored illustrations incorporate all the humor inherent in the tale. A laugh-aloud read-aloud."--Booklist "A dazzling attraction." --Publishers Weekly, "Small maximizes the inherent humor of the absurd situation.

  • Funny book about a little girl who wakes up one day to find she has antlers.

    I've known about this charming little book for years. I read it to students when I was a teacher, and decided I wanted to have a copy for myself, and I'm four weeks away from turning 66. What happens to Imogene is interesting, but it's the reactions of Imogene's family (especially her mother; Imogene apparently comes from a wealthy family of social status) and their servants that makes the book hilarious. And the end is perfect. Find it, read it for your kids, your grandkids, and for yourself.

  • Fun! Imaginative! Ties in to antler-wearing kids at holiday season.

    Arrived in bubble wrap with a ribbon bow! Sent it on to my grand daughter for Christmas. Now I'm looking for the sequel about the peacock feathers. Thanks!

  • Great book!

    I love the book. I bought it for a baby shower gift. The new mom will get a kick out of how the name of the girl in the book is the same name I have.
