A review by cadyly
All Things Bright and Beautiful by James Herriot
2.0
The text of the book is a poem, and the poem is ... okay. A little cheesy for my taste, but kids might like it. It reminds me of Daniel 3 and the Liturgy of the Hours (Wind and chill, bless the Lord, etc.)
As for the illustrations... I like the colors, but I'm not a big fan of how they are done technically. There are large brush strokes and it almost seems to be Impressionist, which is *not* my favorite style.
So, we might take a look at it once, if we happen across it again, but I don't see it becoming a favorite.
My Favorite Picture:
Either the frog or the hummingbird or just the water portion of the one with the whale.
