The Little Carousel

It was a beautiful spring afternoon and everyone was happy but Anthony. Anthony was alone. His brother had gone to play baseball. His father was away. His mother was working.

So Anthony looked out of the window and saw Mr. Corelli and his carousel coming down the street. "A Merry-go-round!" Anthony shouted and ran down the stairs. And then the most exciting thing happened and Anthony wasn't unhappy or lonely anymore.

This charming book with its picture-story of children on a crowded city street is by a young artist who, when she isn't making picture books, works with children in the New York Public Library, and Anthony's story happened on the street where she lives.
