1.The 13 ClocksThe 13 Clocks
from NYR Children's Collection
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
The 13 Clocks is an amusing tale with lots of dry wit for grown-ups and charming pictures for kids. The story has a satisfying flow and conclusion where the bad guy pays and the good guy wins.

2.Many MoonsMany Moons
from Harcourt Children's Books
Price: $11.56

Customer Review:
This has to be one of the most hilarious and enchanting children's books ever written. It was written ages ago, and yet it still has such a power over everyone that it might as well be considered a classic (I hope it is) as it artfully combines a fairy tale, humor, and a soft and simple story of... more info

3.My Life and Hard Times (Perennial Classics)My Life and Hard Times (Perennial Classics)
from Harper Perennial Modern Classics
Price: $8.80

Customer Review:
Thurber's classic about growing up in Columbus, Ohio is laugh out loud funny, even 80 years removed. Talent like this is rare. He deserves his literary reputation.

4.[no image]The Thurber Carnival

Customer Review:
I remember reading all the books of his they had in the library when I was a kid--inspired by the short-running TV show "My World and Welcome to It" which was based on his work.
Amazingly, I found him just as entertaining as I did as a child. The Thurber Carnival is a hodge-podge of essays,... more info

5.Thurber: Writings and Drawings (Library of America)Thurber: Writings and Drawings (Library of America)
from Library of America
Price: $26.40

Customer Review:
A Pleasure. Very smart - wonderful writer/artist. A very minor comment, I wish the pages were a bit thicker so the text from the under side of the page wouldn't show through the drawings. Of course though then the book would be very thick. Enjoyable still.

7.The Wonderful OThe Wonderful O
from NYR Children's Collection
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
"The Wonderful O" is a delightful book for our younger readers about a dastardly group of pirates who invade the island of Ooroo looking for treasure. Oh wow, with a name like Ooroo, this place is just asking for trouble. Seems that Black, the pirate chief, hates the letter O, because when he was a... more info

8.Fables for Our Time (Harper Colophon Books, Cn 999)Fables for Our Time (Harper Colophon Books, Cn/999)
from Harper Perennial
Price: $9.60

Customer Review:
I first read Thurber, Fables for Our Time being my first encounter, about the time I learned to read. Fables sounded suitable for a 7 year old looking for something more than the Bobbsey Twins, so I plunged into a surreal world of misogyny, mayhem, morality and madness, and thoroughly loved it!

9.Old Dogs RememberedOld Dogs Remembered
from Synergistic Publications
Price: $12.69

Customer Review:
Like a good box of chocolates, this book is best consumed one piece at a time, slowly, with time to ponder, cry, and hug your dogs between portions. In Daniel Pinkwater's perfectly crafted essay, the reader can actually feel the writer's love for his big old fur-friend. I'm crying just thinking... more info

10.[no image]Is Sex Necessary?: Or, Why You Feel the Way You Do
from Queens House

Customer Review:
There's no need to actually read this book if you're a male.
Simply carry it around, and you will find yourself approached by a wide variety of women who are amused and perhaps a bit threatened by the title.
Many of them will be interested in showing you the positive response to the... more info
