I didn't enjoy this book as much as I have enjoyed some of the author's other books. The illustrations were still wonderful, and there's quite a bit of adventure here. It was just a little scarier for small children than his other books. Do the big kids always have to be bad?

Peter and his friend Archie find some old motorcycle goggles, but then have to outwit some bullies who try to steal the goggles. So far no other Ezra Jack Keats book is as magical for me as [b:The Snowy Day|310258|The Snowy Day|Ezra Jack Keats|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173627696s/310258.jpg|51286]. Of course reading these books for the first time as an adult just isn't the same as rereading a beloved book from your childhood. The illustrations here are textured and interesting in a very good way. This definitely deserves its Caldecott honor.
