Written in 1955. My first grade class absolutely loved it, we spent a period writing about their favorite part (overwhelmingly, it was him drawing the buildings)

This has been one my very favorite books since I can remember my mother reading to me. It is very imaginative, and just fun! I am now reading it to my 8 month old daughter, who loves books and being read to.
