Testo aggiuntivo
“The scenes are full of visually boisterous activity, with under-pinnings of humorous detail and a clear sense of family closeness so important to the story. A decidedly fresh-looking book.”—Booklist "A visual feast . . .The electricity of the paintings will draw children back for a second look."—School Library Journal
