Excellent art work for a small childs book.

+ Charming verse is wonderful to read aloud.
+ Visually stunning

I, too, as a proud owner of three Zahares originals, was looking forward to the publication of this book. I was surprized to see such few words, but with this type art work, that is all you need. A simple book to read to youngsters. Looking forward to their next book Delivery.
