Nighttime is the best time for stories. And Lulu is the best
storyteller. She knows about the three cross-eyed dogs at a fancy
restaurant, about blue and green mountains where fish fly, about the
family party where Maishel Shmelkin forgot to wear his pants and of
course about the noodle woman the pointy red nose.
The stories, told by a sister to her little brother, are short and sweet
and make you remember things and forget things.
Maira Kalman paints a wondrous and humor-filled world in a childs-eye
view. It is full of wild invention, people familar and outlandish,
bittersweet moments and flights of fancy.
