Absolutely gorgeous and charming. It may be tough for really young kids to follow, but as an adult I thoroughly enjoyed both the art and the text. Going to try it out on the kids at school tomorrow--we always have girls asking for princess books. :)

A beautiful picture book which is quite a satirical look at marriage and what is the most wonderful thing in the world. beautiful written and illustrated - worth a look.

Beautiful book! I really enjoyed reading this with my youngest daughter. My older daughter read it on her own and loved it too.

Stunning illustrations and a lovely message, but its one of those picture books that more for adults than children

Oh my....this book is the the most wonderful thing in the world!! I knew where it was going immediately and, yes, it did, but that doesn't take away the fact that this is a beautiful little story. Wonderful illustrations and elegant storytelling. ( I actually thought it was the city that was the most wonderful thing in the world, but of course it wasn't. I never get the obvious.)
Maybe it was timing, but this book made it to my favourites shelf from the start. Also, I started off 2015 with an Angela Barrett book; it makes sense to end the year with one too.
