This book shaped my world

As I was sitting in my Art History class I suddenly remembered this book. The detail was amazing - I remember reading this book in my childhood for hours, just exploring the different intricate details. I realized suddenly that this book is part of the reason I'm getting my degree in the specific field of art history I am. This book plays on the imagination and the child yearning to explore.

I grew up reading this book the Illustrations are beautiful.

I grew up reading this book, the illustrations are wonderful and are so detailed. The best pictures are at the beginning of the book, with a map of the area, which details the cold winter land to the north and the warm summer land of the trumpets to the south. The pictures use real wildlife and down the side of each page their is a numbered key, which relates to the specific item on the picture. Such as Ladybirds, Robins and Blackberries. The story is marvellous, as the trumpets hibernate through the winter, and have to take a underground train to their lair. But trouble is in store for them when the enemies of the north advance. But with the help of the animals, the trumpets save the day.
