The Salamander Room
Illus. in full color. Brian finds a salamander and takes him home. "Where will he sleep?" asks his mother. Her "inquiries are answered with imaginative solutions that will be familiar to all those who have tried to convince a parent to let them have a pet. Johnson's lush, shadowy paintings depict each addition to the cumulative scenario as Brian's cozy bedroom is gradually transformed into a dark green forest that overflows the pages as the fantasy becomes more elaborate. This is a beautifully designed mood piece."-- "School Library Journal. "
