The Horn Book Review misses the point - I use this book with my students who enjoy it quite a bit. I think part of its appeal IS the quietness of the story & illustrations - you might as well make fun of Mr.Rogers for being so quiet & calm - Hey! that's the appeal to kids sometimes in a noisy fast-paced Sesame Street/MTV/Internet world. I recommend all of David's books - for kids and his adult work also.
