Dodsworth in New York
This droll stand-alone chapter book picks up where Egan’s picture book The Pink Refrigerator left off, as Dodsworth, the formerly complacent mouse, prepares for adventure… Egan keeps the hijinks low-key, preferring long pauses and slow burns to nutty slapstick…Dodsworth is the perfect screwball comedy foil.
Publisher’s Weekly, Starred Review
Known for his quirky books, Egan does himself proud here.
