About the Author

Remy Charlip's (January 10, 1929 – August 14, 2012) background in theater, dance and education combined for a winning knack in creating captivating children's books. He won numerous awards for his work in all these fields, including the Horn Book Award, Bologna Book Fair Award, and The New York Times "10 Best Illustrated Books of the Year" for three consecutive years.

Loganberry Legacy

While Charlip may be more famous in the book world for classics such as Thirteen, Fortunately, and Arm in Arm, the request we receive most often is for Mother Mother I Feel Sick Send for the Doctor Quick Quick Quick. Its silhouette illustrations trigger young imaginations and its simple humor is right on target with young readers, especially memorable years after those readers have grown up and had children of their own. The new reprint features new textured backgrounds and scenography behind the silhouettes, and a couple new color contrasts too. It's quite effective.
