Playful, whimsical, and wry, Margaret Atwood’s story about two children who live up in a tree has attained classic status. When this charming book was first published in 1978, conventional wisdom stated that it was too expensive and risky to publish a children’s book in Canada. So Atwood not only wrote and illustrated the book herself, she also hand-lettered the type! The original edition of Up in the Tree was created the old-fashioned way, using only two colors that mixed together to produce a surprisingly large range of tones and textures, and this painstakingly created facsimile edition delivers intact to readers young and old the unique pleasures of the original. A wonderful story in a beautiful package, Up in the Tree is now ready for a new generation of readers.

Review:
...a whimsical story of two big-eyed kids who, indeed, live in a tree....for those who think Atwood can't do cute, think again. (Calgary Herald 2006-04-06)

...little people will...become enchanted by the sounds and cadence of the words in Up in The Tree. (Globe and Mail 2006-04-06)

A delightful addition for any school, library or personal collection! Highly recommended. (Resource Links 2006-06-06)

Spare and simple, this 30-year-old title offers a refreshing return to basics. (Booklist 2006-04-01)

The lyrical, rhyming text will delight even the youngest children, and early readers will be able to read the book independently. Highly recommended. (Resource Links 2006-06-06)

This could be a collectible - not just because it's Atwood. Because it still rocks....a gem of a book. (Sheree Fitch New Brunswick Telegraph 2006-04-06)
