David Small's many books for children include The Gardener, for which he received a Caldecott Honor.
"""Small maximizes the inherent humor of the absurd situation. Hilarious, with a subtle lesson in acceptance.""--(starred) School Library Journal. ""Young Imogene wakes up one morning to find she has sprouted antlers. Unflappable, Imogene takes the whole thing in stride; the same cannot be said for her mother, who faints every time her daughter comes into view....The effervescent, softly colored illustrations incorporate all the humor inherent in the tale. A laugh-aloud read-aloud.""--Booklist ""A dazzling attraction."" --Publishers Weekly "
