Quentin Fenton Herter III

A sly rhyme about the pitfalls of being too bad — or good!

"Quentin Fenton Herter III ... "

"remembered always to say "Please,""

"to wash behind his ears and knees."

"He never ran but always walked, "

"and sat quite still when grown-ups talked."

BUT ... Quentin Fenton has a shadow (named Quentin Fenton Herter Three!). Never good and always bad, this Quentin loves to make a mess, break rules, and boss his friends. How the two come to change their ways during a long, boring tea with "doilies, dust, and aged ones" aptly shows that no one is all good or bad — and makes a hilarious comedy of manners that is sure to delight good (and bad) children everywhere. Irresistibly illustrated by Giselle Potter with her characteristic wit and whimsy.
