While I enjoyed all of the stories in this collection, my favorite story was “The Fish Wife”

The art style in this book is immaculate; beautiful, soft, and refreshing.

Well, this was perhaps further below my reading level than I expected, it was undeniably, sweet and enjoyable. I can so easily imagine reading this to kids and seeing how it could become a bedtime story.

4-beautiful drawings, text spaced nicely, subtle (almost too much so) for the most part.
