Customer Reviews

Highly recommended for the illustrations alone

This is a wonderful, touching book with outstanding illustrations. The characters speak to both children and adults, and the colors and use of line are delightful.

I take it EVERYWHERE!!

My daughter, who is prone to acts of clumsiness, delighted in this book. At an age where it seems her feet are struggling not to trip over themselves, she loved the fact that in the end...even grown-ups can "forget their feet"!! This book was a joy to read aloud; flowing beautifully. The illustrations were colourful and my daughter loved declaring aloud:"Amy Audrey I declare, I can't take you anywhere!" So much so, that it's become a catchphrase in our household!

DELIGHTFUL ILLUSTRATIONS MAKE THIS BOOK A JOY

Naylor's story is brought to life by Kaminsky's whimsicalillustrations. His style is refreshing. His expressive characters andexpert use of color make this book a delight to the eyes. Young children (and parents)will find the pictures of Audrey's mishaps hilarious. Every time you turn the pages you'll find something new to inspire a laugh.
