had come into ownership of this book many years ago as a gift to my younger son. When he was quite young, he seemed mezmerized by the calming effect of the words and beautiful pictures. This book would make a restful bedtime story for a youngster. Of particular interest is a note on the author and two illustrators in the book on the back flap. It explains the selection process of the pictures and prose.
