About this title

About the Author:

Brian Wildsmith has deservedly won a reputation as one of the greatest living illustrators of books for children. In 1962, he published his first book for children, ABC, for which he was awarded the Kate Greenaway Medal, the highest honor in the field in Britain.

Brian is known for his brilliant use of color, radiant portrayal of nature, and the soulful animation he brings to his illustrations of animals.

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
