Delightful book with one minor flaw...

This book is beautiful. The illustrations are gorgeous. I love the old-timey magical kingdom that is the setting and I love how each picture has so many round things, not mentioned by the text, for the reader to discover. However I was disappointed reading the book to find that a perfect rhyme scheme becomes very awkward in the last pages, ending the book on a sour note. If you can overlook the awkwardness, then you'll probably find the book thoroughly enjoyable.

Love the illustrations!

We found this gem at the library and I fell for the vibrant pictures so now I must have it for our collection of beautiful books that I can hardly stand to have sticky little hands touch! haha! The rhyme is inventive and cute and to say the pictures are merely beautiful seems a disservice. Incredible colors and vibrance!
