This is the second book I've read by Sergey, and again, the illustrations are strikingly original.  The morals that come through this wonderful stories is a great reason to read them to your children over and over again.The first story is about a fisherman who lives on the beach with his dog, and a cat that might be 'evil'.  The old man fishes and shares with his both his hardworking dog, and a cat only helps out when there's a fish involved.  When the old man finally gets fed up with the cat's selfishness, he throw the cat into the sea.  From there the old man's fishing days are over.  He can't seem to catch a fish and he and the dog nearly starve.  Not until a kitten shows up, and a seagull gives some sage advice does the old man get his mojo back.The second story is about a little girl and special bond that humans share with the spirit world.  I really loved this sweet story of the little princess who played with angels.  It shows the continuity of life in a beautiful way.The illustrations are a combination of mediums, what they might be I have no idea but they are very appealing.  A lovely dual of stories that I'm sure kids would enjoy.
