| Cowardly Clyde, by Bill Peet, illus. by Bill Peet | ||
| I remember when I first saw this book--the illustrations were
so incredible; How I hoped that the story would be good, too--it was! I don't enjoy all
of Bill Peet's stories as well as this one, but I own several of them, and I enjoy the
artwork in every one! Watch Clyde and his master, the brave Sir Galavant, as they
take on the ogre that has been terrorizing the village. The story features fine drawings
of farm animals, dogs, people, buildings, a forest, (and an ogre)!
