The award-winning, classic stories about Peter and his neighborhood friends from the Caledcott Medal-winning author, Ezra Jack Keats. Peter has a new baby sister. First his father paints Peter's old cradle pink, then his crib. Then his parents want to paint Peter's chair "Let's run away, Willie," he says to his dog. And they do. This is a gentle and reassuring story about sibling rivalry.

A more charming or contemporary child than Peter . . . is hard to bring to mind.--School Library Journal
