Description
What is a hole?
A hole is when you step in it
you go down
A hole is
for a mouse
to live in.
And, of course,a hole is to dig.
This is the funniest book
of definitions you'll ever read!
About the Author
Ruth Krauss, a member of the experimental Writers Laboratory at the Bank Street School in New York City in the 1940s, imaginatively used humor and invented words to create some of the very first books for children that highlighted a childs inner life. She collaborated with some of the greatest illustrators in childrens literature, including Maurice Sendak and her husband, Crockett Johnson.
