Imogene's Antlers by David Small 1985Waking up with a full set of antlers on her head seems not to perturb Imogene at all. She takes the new decoration in stride, unlike her mother, who faints every time Imogene appears. The doctor declares that nothing is the matter, and the cook and kitchen maid use Imogene's antlers to great advantage.
"The cook, Mrs. Perkins, gave
Imogene a doughnut, then
decked her out with several more
and sent her into the garden
to feed the birds."
Small's illustrations demonstrate Imogene's contentment with the absurdity of the situation. Besides, she'll be back to normal by tomorrow. Or will she?
Appropriate for ages 2-8
