About the Author

Judith Viorst was born and brought up in New Jersey, graduated from Rutgers University, moved to Greenwich Village, and has lived in Washington, D.C., since 1960, when she married Milton Viorst, a political writer. They have three sons--Anthony and Nick (who are lawyers) and Alexander (who does community-development lending for a bank) and seven grandchildren--Miranda, Brandeis, Olivia, Nathaniel, Benjamin, Isaac, and Toby. Viorst writes in many different areas: science books, children's picture books, adult fiction and non-fiction, poetry for children and adults, and three musicals, which are still performed on stages around the country.

Hilary Knight, son of artist-writers Clayton Knight and Katharine Sturges, was educated at the Art Students League, where he studied with Reginald Marsh. Besides the Eloise books, Hilary Knight has illustrated more than fifty books for children, six of which he wrote himself.

He lives and works in New York City, not far from The Plaza Hotel.

This review is from: Sunday Morning (Hardcover)

This book has always been one of my family's favories. Our mom had to read it to us daily--I think she had it memorized. Even now (when we're 30-ish) if my sister needs cheering up, I can always get a smile if I read her the part about the dungaree legs. I've given this book (and Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day) to all of my friends' children & they love it too.
