I can not help but hear Meg Ryan in her You’ve Got Mail story voice reading these lines in my head. The only way to describe this book is as a “literary” picture book. The language is involved, and wordy. It is hard to keep track of the story because it moves from one scene to another without really connecting anything. I enjoyed reading the book but I can not say I enjoyed the story. Honestly I can not remember the story, because I could not follow the plot. The illustrations are excellent, but I see this more as a class project to be dissected in college than to be shared at bedtime with little children.
