A review by bengriffin
Up and Down by Oliver Jeffers

4.0

I promised myself I wouldn't get into the habit of buying children's picture books until I had a child of my own, but that promise has gone out the window, and I partly blame Oliver Jeffers. There's so much heart and charm in all his illustrations and his stories are always simple but incredibly effective. There's always plenty of little details in the images to make you smile or laugh too. In this one it was backgammon, advertising posters, and tricycles. I can only hope that if I ever do have a child it will enjoy them as much as I do.
