"An autobiographical short-story collection from Bagdasarian chronicles his childhood and adolescence. Astute and impressionistic, this collection is arranged not chronologically, but in units of remembrance . . . The overall tone is one of wise humor." --Kirkus Reviews "The mix of comic situations with intelligent reflection gives each reminiscence a larger relevance." --The Horn Book "Bagdasarian poignantly re-creates universal 'traumas,' both minor and major. . . Evocative in its entwinement of childlike candor with adult wisdom." --Publishers Weekly, "An autobiographical short-story collection from Bagdasarian chronicles his childhood and adolescence.
