review 1: It was hard to really appreciate this book when I had unknowingly read a similar book called ZOOM by Itsvan banyai. I love the concept of the book with the circular storyline and the twist ending. What i did not like was the fact that the progression was not logical. For example, "Under the old sock, A book of fairy tales"; a book would not fit hidden underneath a sock. A similar example is when a bird was on the rosebush but in the illustration of the rosebush there was no bird. These are very small details and I know that I am being overcritical, which is why i believe my previous reading of ZOOM kind of ruined my experience with this book. I liked it, but didn't love it. 3 stars.
review 2: This delightful circular story begins with a picture of a colorful ho... moreuse on a hill, and it ends up at that same house which the narrator now labels "my house." The colorful, child-like drawings show a child's world, both real and imagined. Using prepositions - in, behind, under, around and so forth - the story moves from the yard to the bedroom where the child discovers with relief that there is nothing under the bed. But a fairy tale book lies in view, and inside there are many familiar characters to be found, most of them in the Big Bad Wolf's belly! Then on we go to mounains, caves, the ocean and even outer space before returning home. A truely imaginative home-adventure-home story that most young children will find irresistible! less
