An alphabet book called What's Inside? is another book by Satoshi Kitamura that will have you looking again and again for his brilliant gags and details. His pen lines and watercolors have a perfected sloppiness that gives childlike character to every object on the crowded pages.




I fell in love with Tove Jansson's Moominpappa books in fifth grade and still enjoy them today. Her book called Who Will Comfort Toffle? from 1960 is filled with colorful characters and of course grand adventures.
