BOOK SYNOPSIS
Rip Van Winkle is an idler who would rather starve for a penny than work for a pound, and his wife is constantly nagging him. In search of peace, Rip heads off to the woods one day with his faithful dog, Wolf. High up in the Catskill Mountains, Rip meets an unusual group of little men. He drinks their strong beverage and falls into a deep sleep. When he awakens, he finds that twenty years have passed – the world has changed and so has he.
With vibrant paintings by Leonard Everett Fisher, Eric A. Kimmel’s adaptation of Washington Irving’s classic “Rip Van Winkle” introduces a Rip who reforms as a result of his experience.
BOOK REVIEWS
"Frequent collaborators Kimmel and Fisher take on an American literary treasure and make it accessible to young children. This unique version of the most famous return in literature deserves a place in the majority of collections, even those containing many of the dozen or so other picture-book renditions." --Booklist
