The Owl and the Pussycat
Illustrated by Jan Brett
Illustrated in brilliant detailed pictures with jewel-like colour and clarity, clear print and on crisp white paper, this version of the old rhyme is delightful. Set in a clear tropical sea, surrounded by exotic fish and plants, the owl and the pussycat carry on their courtship most satisfyingly (except, where is the $5 note?) and in great splendour. Added fun is given by the sub-plot, told in the pictures, of a fish in a bowl and its mate which children enjoy spotting as the pages turn.
