Tit
for Tat is an inventive turnabout tale of what would
happen if animals did unto us as we do unto them. It
was a hit with children and adults alike, as evidenced
by the following quotes. In a letter to the Reys from
editor Ursula Nordstrom, we learn, "The salesmen
are all in happy hysterics over Tit for Tat,
and so is everyone who has seen the original dummy--the
man at Publisher's Weekly, for instance."
A review in the December 1943 Junior Reviewers relates
that "a kindergarten group greeted this with screams
of laughter, and you could see the enjoyable visions
it started in the darling little heads, such as one
comment, 'Oh boy, if I could only play tit for tat with
my father!' " |
