Customer Reviews

Exquisite for both Children and Adults

While browsing through a small book store eight years ago, I was smitten by this book. It is uplifting, imaginative, tender, and exquisitely illustrated. To my delight, my grandson loved it as well. It has remained the favorite book of his childhood. It's a "must" for those who seek the best in children's literature. Few know about it, but if it emerges from obscurity, it will become a classic.

My son's favorite book

This was given to my son one Christmas when he was 3-4 years old. It was his favorite book for so long. Because it is only illustrations, it can be read differently by many people. The pictures are amazing; the details and creativity just wonderful. I then purchased every other book by Peter Collington, and both of my children have loved them all. I have given this book as a gift many times!
