Summary: Loudmouse is a delightful book! Great to be read aloud !
Comment: My first exposure to this book was a storyteller who kept her audience of school teachers totally enthralled. Later, I ordered a copy of the book and have read it numerous times to my fourth grade classes and other teachers have borrowed it and read it to there classes!! Moreover, my grandchildren love to read it along with me! The formatting of the book had nothing to do with my enthusiasm for it!

Summary: New Edition of Loudmouse Very Disappointing
Comment: When I was growing up, my mother read us children a book called
"Loudmouse" by Richard Wilbur, illustrated by Don Almquist. We
enjoyed it thoroughly, and I still have the copy we read, albeit
in somewhat shabby condition. It is the First Crowell-Collier
Press Edition of 1963.
The $13 copy of Loudmouse available from Amazon.com is extremely
disappointing because:
* It is extremely small--less than half the size of the original.
* It is printed entirely in B/W--the original had black and brown
illustrations.
* All the illustrations have been completely redrawn (apparently
by the same artist). They look very different, and nowhere
near as good.
* Positioning of text and illustrations from page to page is
totally different, killing much of the punch and excitement of
the original book.
I recommend that potential buyers wait for the book as it was
originally published to be re-issued, before wasting any money on
this version.
