Arm in Arm

a collection of connections
endless tales
reiterations
and other echolalia

by Remy Charlip
…..

An absurd, beautiful, free-form, and frequently psychedelic children’s book I found at a thrift store the other day. Remy Charlip is a very interesting and talented jack-of-all-trades: a teacher, theater director, choreographer, costume and set designer, the head of the Children’s Literature and Theater department at Sarah Lawrence College, and founder of the New York Children’s Theater (to name a few).  I took some photos of the crazy layouts in this book but none of them turned out that great, so here are some cover and detail shots.

    I grew up with this book and loved it as a child and still do! No-one I’ve ever spoken to was familiar with it. I was lucky enough to snatch it from my mom when I moved out. :)
