Sounds like he has a few other popular books (probably kids' books?), like When the Wind Blows, Father Christmas. Soothing is a good word to explain his illustration. Suko: I will! I have your blog on my reader, just that I don't comment every time :) Nymeth: True, he probably tried to fit a lot of things into the number of pages he had in mind. bethany: See the “Also reviewed by” :)

I would have liked more detail sometimes, but like you and Jenny were saying, it must be tricky to decide how much to include and how much to leave out!

Isn't he the author who also illustrated, and wrote, The Snowman? His pictures are as soothing as Norman Rockwell's, somehow. Thanks for bringing this book to my attention as I've not heard of it before, but I love knowing new read alouds for my class. I love Raymond Briggs!
