The illustrations are gorgeous, and the tone is lilting (although the rhyming is a little off) but the story itself is just a little creepy and sad... a little girl all alone riding vicious bear, burying owl bones, and searching for you reading her story so she can listen to you read it outside your window. Yikes.
