Her first book, \u003ci\u003eJunket Is Nice\u003c\/i\u003e, was a success when it appeared in 1933 and was followed by \u003ci\u003eNow Open the Box \u003c\/i\u003e(forthcoming from The New York Review Children’s Collection), \u003ci\u003eLucky Mrs. Ticklefeather\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBrave Mr. Buckingham\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eTiny Animal Stories\u003c\/i\u003e. Kunhardt published nearly fifty books, including several nonfiction works for adults about Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War (her father amassed a legendary collection of Civil War–era photographs and memorabilia). Several years after her death, Philip B. Kunhardt Jr. remembered his mother’s boundless curiosity and appreciation for the way young people observe the world, writing in\u003ci\u003e The New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e that “for Dorothy Kunhardt a children’s book was nothing more or less than a way to talk to children.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                            \n                            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":45313398964385,"sku":"BBSNIJ9781590176283","price":18.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9781590176283.jpg?v=1762270094","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/junket-is-nice-hardcover-by-dorothy-kunhardt","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
