The illustrations are gorgeous, but...that's all this book has going for it. It's not a biography of McCloskey, it's not a biography of Schon, it's not even about make way for ducklings. It's only the extremely narrow story of Schon creating the statues of the ducklings for Boston Gardens. So incredibly niche that I would like at least to have some details, but none are forthcoming. A mostly pointless book, albeit a beautiful one.
