Customer Reviews

Loved this book

I gave this book as a present to a little friend of mine, after seeing an exhibit of the illustrations and falling in love with them myself. Her parents have to ration reading the book! She loves it so much that, left to herself, she'd read it over and over in the same sitting. I'm now going to buy it for another little friend of mine.

A beautiful book from a fanciful artist

I love this book. I had seen some of the artworks in a gallery last year and am so glad to have found the book they belong to. It's a fun read and a fantastick family adventure. This would make a great introduction to the possibilities of theater and engaging in performance for any child with a yearning to act, sing, paint, or dance.

great book

This is a great book for any child. It has great pictures that are fun to look at and enjoy reading. I bought this for my neice and she loves the pictures.

Beautiful!!!

My oldest daughter (4) and I LOVED this book! The illustrations are powerful and the story is so fun it makes me want to buy a van and travel around putting on plays with my husband and two daughters!!

Enchanting

The illustrations in this book are among the most lovely and singlar of any storybook I've seen. It's also great to see a book of a 70's era childhood and my four-year-old daughter adores the story. Lots of fun and great for dreamers.
