Imogene’s Antlers by David Small. Crown, 1985. The fun begins on the first page when Imogene finds she grew antlers in the night. Right away, Imogene proves she’s a creative, fun-loving child. What child doesn’t have difficulties that feel as big as antlers? In a satisfying way, Imogene turns her predicament into a triumph, only her mother and principal remaining disturbed. The humor comes from the incongruent responses, and clever visual irony boosts the laughs.
