Just finished The Upside-Down World of Gustave Verbeek. He was an artist who developed three major cartoon strips for the Sunday papers in the early 1900s. One was The Upside-Downs of Little Lady Lovekins and Old Man Muffaroo. In this strip, you read the six panels, then turn the book upside down and read the six panels again to get the rest of the story. The artwork works both right side up and upside down. Another of his strips The Loony Lyrics of Lulu reminded me greatly of the Berenstain Bear books in which (for example) the bears go camping and Father Bear gets into all kinds of scrapes while the bear brothers do things by the book and have a successful time.
This was a five-star books and I'm excited to have discovered a new author/artist to explore and learn about further.
