Folklore meets graphic arts!
This amazing book was not made as a children's picture book, but it can be. It is a gorgeous piece of art. The imagery and story blend fantastically. This is a book for any age, a child who enjoys folktales, the older ones who appreciate precious books, the artist who can enjoy the beautiful graphics, or anyone else you can think of. This tale is lovely and a great way to talk about fear with children. Beautiful with emotionally provoking imagery.
I want to own this book and then share it with the adults and children in my life!

Even for a children's book, this short story is boring. The simplistic writing could have been used to tell numerous lessons in an easy-to-read and enjoyable way, but instead all that's told is a bland story with an abrupt ending. The art is a nice accompaniment to the text, and the shift between colours and dark shades is pleasant. Overall, it's a boring book, even for very young readers. It should have been longer; kids can handle that.
