Title: A happy ending to a yummy tale
Review: Six-Dinner Sid is a book (out of a huge collection) that we turn to again and again. The deft watercolor illustrations portray Sid and his quirky -- and unwitting -- co-owners with humor, affection and sophistication. A previous reviewer felt that Sid's problem was that he was lying and sneaking around. I don't believe this is at all the case. The text confirms that the trouble was rooted in the non-communicativeness of Sid's first set of benefactors. The second blockful he adopts "talked to their neighbors... And, because everybody knew, nobody minded." Sid's appetite for six-square is satisfied by the happy folks who deliver a pretty potent social statement about urban living. It's an immensely cheering story that never wears thin over repeated readings.
