This is a super dual text - it not only looks inviting, it's an excellent read. Dry's evocative illustrations, recalling a different time and place, go across each double page spread with both texts set clearly onto plain colour backgrounds. The pictures really support the story and I particularly like the fact that there is not too much text on each page. This is a lovely version to share with children. (Available in 22 dual language editions, big book format and on audio CD.)
