All About April: Our Little Girl Grows Up!: A For Better or For Worse Special Edition

by Lynn Johnston

April Patterson entered the world of For Better or For Worse in dramatic fashion when she was born at home during an ice storm. Since then she has continued to add surprise and sparkle to the Patterson family. Cartoonist Lynn Johnston has gathered her favorite strips about April, chronicling her fun-filled and rambunctious first 10 years. From the wonder she brought to the family as a tiny baby through her exploits as a toddler, her traumatic fall into a raging river and subsequent rescue by Farley, and her other adventures while growing up, making friends, and going to school, April's life is told through cartoons, new art, and written commentary in All About April.

I've always thought of the Pattersons as the neighbors. I started reading the strip when I was a kid and was faithful to the end. I have the entire collection and I read it every few years. It's a classic!

Not sure why I entered this, although I am a fan of Ms Johnston's works. I admire most of her characters, even the ones I don't like, a category that April falls squarely into.
