At face value, it's a charming tale that will strike a chord with its young audience. The relaxed pace and quietly unfolding plot make it ideal for bedtime reading. David Lucas' illustrations are daringly simple, but utterly gorgeous with it. This enchanting style will fill you with a warm glow. Recommended.
