About this title

About the Author:

Brian Wildsmith is one of the most venerable figures in children's illustration today and celebrates over forty years of publishing with OUP - a truly remarkable achievement.

Review:

Classic picture books are making a comeback. Several good ones are back in print after long absences. That means that todays children can read some of the books their parents or grandparents once loved.

These books [do not] have glitter or flocking, gold inlay or panels that emit sound. The authors and illustrators are celebrities only in the [world of books for children]. What they do have are satisfying stories and illustrations that are timeless.

Star Bright [books] has reissued [a] beautiful picture book by the eminent illustrator Brian Wildsmith...The art and storytelling [are] superb. --The Plain Dealer

This beautiful picture book would be an excellent addition to any library for children. It should certainly be in every library and would make a beautiful gift sure to be cherished. No child should grow up without enjoying the art of Wildsmith. --Bridgeport Intermediate School
