Happy Hocky Family Moves to the Country!

"Your 6-year-old may still be irony-free, but she'll love the Hockys, and not just because she'll be able to read the book herself. Lane Smith's wit plays on two levels: your wink-winky boomerish sensibility and your child's delight in Buster Keatonish pratfalls. The members of his Hocky family are paper cutout collages, laid out on the sort of pulpy paper that looks handmade. Their heads are round and bubbly, as endearingly vintage-looking as the words they use. There are lots of exclamation points."Smith, Lane is the author of 'Happy Hocky Family Moves to the Country! ', published 0011 under ISBN 9780142402979 and ISBN 0142402974.
