| Summary | Superb pictures enhanced with a dimension of touch. The book appears to be one long sheet of heavy stock paper with indentions. In effect the back of each page is blank, so that there is a physical gap between each "sheet". The continuous sheet allows impressions to be made to allow the reader to feel picture as if it were right there. The Little Duck is particularly brightly colored an almost shiny sunny colored yellow. Another masterpiece, in my opinion, is a picture of a small rabbit sitting just outside it's hole. It looks like somthing that should be framed and put in practically every child's bedroom. |
