Beautiful and Gentle

The lovely watercolor illustrations of Horatio's Bed never descend into the realm of sap, although with stuffed animals, the potential is of course there. By treating the characters with the respect she does, Camilla Ashforth makes this book a delight for both the adult reader and the child audience. The basic plot is simple. Horatio, a small stuffed rabbit, needs a bed, and his friend James, a stuffed bear, is helping him to find one. This book is best for the under five crowd.
