Stead's illustrations are so provocative and are full of movement, color, levels, and angles. His color palettes are always the best! Wouldn't it be awesome to have a nursery with him as inspiration?

Besides his stellar artwork which fetches him an extra star, the storyline is wonderfully fantastical and provides much to leave to the imagination, offering a nice balance to the push for nonfiction literature.
