Nick Maland's illustrations are as wonderful as ever. Just like his work in [[Oliver Who Would Not Sleep by Mara Bergman and Nick Maland|Oliver Who Would Not Sleep]] and [[Giants by Mij Kelly and Nick Maland|Giants]], there's a classic style to them. They remind me of the picture books I grew up reading, but still retaining their own unique charm. Although the rhythm of the book means you'll read through at a fair ol' pace usually, do get on the stopping service now and then and admire the scenery. Recommended.
My thanks to the publishers for sending it to Bookbag. We also have a review of [[Oliver and the Noisy Baby by Mara Bergman and Nick Maland]].
Train fans will love [[Big Blue Train by Julia Jarman and Adrian Reynolds]]. [[Elephant by Petr Horacek]] has an equally charming illustrative style.
