"The books have a generous, easy-to-handle size and the text is produced in a large font. Charmingly decorated endpapers welcome readers. All of the artwork.--consisting of numerous full-page pictures and smaller detail illustrations.--is in color. The delicate paintings blend traditional images with touches of gentle humor.
