Isabella L. ★★★★★

My kid is obsessed with the blue endpapers and the way the illustrations feel so calm and detailed. This signed copy arrived in pristine condition, which I really appreciate for a gift.

Elizabeth ★★★★★

The blue endpapers caught my eye right away, and flipping through, there isn't a single page without a color illustration. My niece made me read it twice in one sitting, which pretty much says it all.

Hannah ★★★★★

The illustrations on every page are just as charming as I hoped, and the boards feel sturdy enough for repeated bedtime reads. Arrived in spotless condition, exactly as described—a keeper for any Stead fan.
