Customer Reviews

There should be more books like this.

For those looking for more texts like Van Allesburg's "The Mysteries of Harris Burdick," congratulations, you've finally found one. The format is almost identical: interesting, almost photo-quality illustrations (these in color) paired with cryptic titles and first lines. These are great story starters for kids with imagination. There simply aren't enough books like this out there--and the premise is a good one. The wordless/near-wordless text genre is one that deserves some investigating.
