It's a lovely story but the brilliant part is that as well as writing the story Quentin Blake has also illustrated it - and it's gorgeous. At first sight they appear minimalist - but look more carefully and you'll find all sorts of little extras and there's the glorious contrast between the city (all busy and bustling) as the bus leaves and the peace and tranquility of the countryside. The colour palette is muted and very, very pleasing. I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag.
It's a real pleasure to see Quentin Blake narrating a children's story as well as doing the illustrations. Have a look We enjoyed [[:Category:The Story of the Dancing Frog by Quentin Blake|hereThe Story of the Dancing Frog]] for some more examples of his illustrations.
