Genre: Animals / Family / Friendship / Adventure Year Published: 1958 Year Read: 2010 Publisher: HarperCollins I have read many books by Tomi Ungerer and I have just recently stumbled upon this book called “Crictor.” “Crictor” is a French story by Tomi Ungerer and it is about how an old f...
Genre: Monsters / Friendship / Contest Year Published: 1971 Year Read: 1993 I have actually first heard of this book on a children’s video series called Weston Woods and I enjoyed it back then and I enjoy it now! “The Beast of Monsieur Racine” is a children’s book by Tomi Ungerer, which is abo...
None of us liked it. I picked it up because the cover image is so striking, and I'd just been saying I'd like to live on a cool, damp, northen island. But I didn't like the illustrations, I wasn't at all sure whether this was supposed to be set in the present or some former, folksyier time, and some...

An autobiography about the children's author Tomi Ungerer his life in Alsace under the Nazi Occupation. The Three Robbers was a favorite of my children. Here is a link about that book at You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBqdcvAkjWk . The autobiography sounds stunning! A child's life in Franc...
Fable about a down-on-his luck war vet who suddenly acquires a magic flying hat. The story is nothing special, but Ungerer's illustrations are as usual full of sly jokes. Not yet play-tested, but my guess is that small children would like it.
