Officer Buckle And Gloria Av Peggy Rathmann

"Besides the beguiling story, the affable illustrations of the smiling Gloria, the accidental mayhem in the background, and the myriad safety tips -- such as ''always pull the toothpick out of your sandwhich'' and ''never lick a stop sign in the winter'' -- add to the enjoyment. A glorious picture book." -- The Horn Book"Rathmann is a quick rising star in the world of chidren''s books.
