Smile Please, Ernest and Celestine!

Celestine's discovery of Ernest's hoard of old photos first delights an then dismays the little mouse as she realises that her bear guardian hasn't a single photograph of her. But Ernest soon puts that right. The touching relationship between the unlikely pair shines through the delicate watercolour illustrations of the original hardcover and I hope the paperback edition too. But my copy had the look of a very faded old photograph indeed, so do check your copy before buying.
