James is a lucky boy.
He has Mommy
and Daddy
and Grandma
and Auntie who all love him.
He has a best friend, Angela.
James lives in the city,
near enough to a fairground
to ride there in a yellow car.
He's near a bus line, too.
An express!
And what's more,
he already has four stories
written about him
in one book,
pictured in charming detail,
and just right for participation
by other boys and girls
of James's lucky age.
Amy Schwartz has written and illustrated many classic picture books, among them Bea and Mr. Jones, a Reading Rainbow feature; Oma and Bobo; Annabelle Swift, Kindergartner; A Teeny Tiny Baby (a New York Times Best Illustrated Book of the Year); Some Babies, its sequel; How to Catch an Elephant; and The Boys Team, a finalist among the Riverbank Review's "Books of Distinction." She lives with her husband, historian and critic Leonard Marcus, and their son, Jacob, in Brooklyn, New York.
