I can't describe the pictures. which is a shame in these books as they are truly awesome illustrations, but I can follow the story without the pictures, and even as a little kid, during "read aloud " time, I would use my imagination rather than what was put on the pages in front of us. I would give some things that you can't figure out from the text, smile. And I can't wait to read Cloudy and Pickles, as neither liked my scanner at all! I suspect it is the font in them, is it a bit fancier than normal? Shelley L. Rhodes and Judson, guiding golden juddysbuddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx Guide Dogs For the Blind Inc.
