`Tutti-Frutti' Youth Story

There is a lot of fun for young
readers—and for the elders who
read the story to the youngsters
— in "Tutti-Frutti" which was
written and illustrated by Lou
Meyers.
What fun in this story so full
of action—about Popsickle who
sells ice cream, his customers who
include Kerensky the crocodile
and others in the animal world.
There is a battle in the animal
world, Popsickle emerges un-
scathed from threatened dangers,
there is fun in the action in which
Kerensky gets off with a headache
and fever and the rest get their
tutti-frutti. It's a story well told,
well illustrated, interestingly moti-
vated for the very young who will
want it read to them again and
again since the subject—ice cream
—and the details assume familiar
tones.
