About the Author:
Lane Smith lives in New York City and Washington Depot, Connecticut.
From Booklist:
PreS-Gr. 2. The Hocky family isn't exactly back; they have just moved to the country--with hilariously predictable results. Smith's masterly stick figures on rough, brown paper backgrounds find that words have different meanings in the country ("garbage collector" means a raccoon in the trash can). They also learn that plants (poison ivy) and farm animals (stinky when the wind changes) have down sides. The approach is side-splittingly deadpan. "In the country there are lots of new games to play. This one is called FIND THE DRIVEWAY," reads the text, which is accompanied by a picture showing the Hockys surrounded by snow. Smith does wonderful things with squiggles of ink, matte colors, and a little collage, and the play of text against image is relentless. Ten of the eleven activities on the school calendar are chili dinner fund-raisers for the new cafeteria, which welcomes students by serving--you guessed it. Funny, and oddly comforting.
