Reviews
I'm a big fan of Alison Jay's illustrations, and Curtis' text is fabulous. Such an imaginative, whimsical, and quaint story filled to the brim with lovely details, making it perfect for a shorter, lyrical read or an in-depth look at each feature included on each page.
The text in this book is lullaby-esque and perfectly complements Jay's crackled illustrations that seamlessly combine classic and whimsy. The text has just a touch of nonsense that adds to the dream-like quality and my only issue with this book is that it's oversize... so much bigger and heavier than it needs to be.
