A Beautiful Little Book

This is a beautiful little book, which tells the story of the "seven sleepers" --seven species of hibernating animals--in clear, simple, perfect prose. The pen and ink drawings are also wonderful, jewel-like bits of reality. This would be a perfect addition to any young person's library and it has been a treasured volume in my own for years. The review quoted above exhibits a soulless misunderstanding of this perfect little book.
