Magic Beach
Publisher’s Weekly has an article on the Crockett Johnson Gem Unearthed. Johnson, author of Harold and the Purple Crayon, wrote Magic Beach in 1958, and although he was already famous for this Harold series, they published it with another artist’s illustrations. This new release of the book will finally pair Johnson’s words and art. This is a must-purchase for public libraries of any size.
