In the last picture panel I was looking for the organ grinder and couldn't find him. Just the monkey. But yeah, it was okay to read but I don't think I'd buy it. It did end really abrupt.

I was at a loss of words about this one. I loved your review because it said the things I couldn't properly phrase, but like you, I'm not sure I'd seek this one out to own it. It just feels like it stops all of a sudden. At least that's my perception, I was wanting more of something...I don't know what...I just felt it was abrupt. But I just love the illustrations.

I guess I wasn't gushing over it. And you know the price of hardcover picture books, $15-$20. I guess I couldn't justify it.
