Amos & Boris Summary

Amos & Boris by William Steig

Amos & Boris Reviews

A masterpiece-certainly of children's literature, but maybe of all literature. It is Steig at his absolute best. -- Rumaan Alam * The New Yorker *
There is no question that Steig's affectionately witty pictures and perfectly complementary narration make this a durable picture book friendship * Kirkus Reviews *
A simple, matter-of-fact story about the friendship between a mouse and a whale. . . . Lovely watercolor pictures and a funny, well-written text which presents its plot coincidences in tongue-in-cheek manner fit together admirably in this faintly Aesopian tale * School Library Journal *
The book is funny and earnest, pellucid and profound * New York Times Book Review *
