Tell Me a Mitzi by Lore Segal

Thanks to Lore Segal's antic words, and Harriet Pincus's antic pictures, children will find Tell Me a Mitzi a hilarious picnic. -- Publishers Weekly

Author and illustrator have caught the essence of childhood in this captivating picture book. The three stories mix fantasy with reality and are told with naturalness and warmth. The illustrations, so filled with details and surprises they invite repeated scrutiny, have verity and vitality, poignancy and endearing humor. -- Booklist

A remarkable joint tour de force. -- The Washington Post Book World

This is possibly one of the funniest books in print. -- The Saturday Review

The fantasy is as real as tomorrow's ice cream cone, the three Mitzi stories more than bull's-eyes . A triumph. -- Kirkus Reviews

[The first book I fell in love with] was a children's book called Tell Me a Mitzi by Lore Segal and illustrated by Harriet Pincus. My mother used to read this to me every night before I went to sleep. It's a story about a little girl who takes her baby brother out on adventures around the city while their parents are sleeping. I loved it because it was about the pleasures of radical independence and the discovery of the world. And because I so deeply loved my little brother. To this day, my mother still calls me 'Mitzi.' -- Ottessa Moshfegh, author of Eileen and My Year of Rest and Relaxation
