|comment= What a great review. I wonder if there are parents who object much less strenuously to poor text if the illustrations are good - we two are word people, not picture people, aren't we? How do you feel about uninspiring pictures with great text? As strongly or less so?
Children ARE authoritarian. Occasionally, in tellings off, I might ask mine what they consider to be an appropriate punishment, and what they suggest (quite seriously) is without fail worse than anything I had in mind.

|comment=Thanks,
I don't know why. I am less discerning regarding visuals, probably; it takes 'The Watchtower' style to offend me, and even that I can live with in context.
But mainly it's the fact that I HAVE TO READ THE BLOODY THINGS. And as you probably know, it's more painful to read 5 minutes of bad text then 25 minutes of a good one.

|comment= The author is a he, not a she.
The book is not a translation as, unlike the reviewer, English is his first language.
