CM . . . . Volume XVIII Number 14 . . . . December 2, 2011
The full page illustrations, done by the author, are beautiful, colorfully detailed, and encompass the meaning of the text on each page. The pictures are very realistic and "lifelike" – not cartoonish at all. They help to enhance the imagination and bring the story to life. The carefully selected words, with their rhyming text, are likely to stretch the vocabularies of young readers. Recommended. Lisa Case is an elementary/jr. high school librarian from Calgary, AB.
