Ask any child between five and eight about his or her favorite authors, and it is very likely that Bill Peet will make the list -- with good reason. Once dubbed the "peerless brewer of instant laughter" (Publishers Weekly), Bill Peet has entertained and delighted children for more than five decades, first with his contributions to Walt Disney films, then with his whimsical picture books. In a collection sure to be sought after by fans of all ages, five of Peet's beloved classics are brought together in celebration of his imaginative animal creations: Chester the Worldly Pig, How Droofus the Dragon Lost His Head, No Such Things, Farewell to Shady Glade, and The Whingdingdilly.
