It truly is an art piece! This is also a long book. Your child will need a somewhat longer attention span to sit through it - which should be no problem for children 4+ but younger ones- will depend on your child. Either way I highly recommend this gorgeous book about a fox searching for the light of a star.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A classic childrens bookBy Adam R. MorrisHaving read the book and all of the less than five star reviews I have to say that those three people (at the time of writing) are wrong.The book is beautifully printed (sure I would have preferred engraved plates and letter press printing for the text. but that would elevate the book into an art piece and the costs and rarity would both go up. However this book is about as close an approximation of that as is possible.The story was simplistic. but it is a childrens book. and they tend towards simplistic. For an alternative have a look at Harold and the purple crayon. Another simple story. beautifully illustrated. but suitable for children and delightful enough for adults.The illustrations are charming with lots of beautiful elements. The text is simple. but works well. It is a wonderful book. which wont take hours to read to children but is beautifully presented. This is the sort of book that could well encourage children to start reading for themselves.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
