This is an especially lovely picture book for children (or for the Inner Child of an adult). The illustrations are beautiful, seriously. The prose is charming. Rhyme is usually a no-no in books for children, as rhyming sentences are often trite, tired and truly uninteresting. This story does have rhyme and it works. The rhyme and the remainder of the prose, reminded me of the best parts of reading Dr. Seuss. The story could have been a few pages longer, or had some kind of moral or theme, yet it is enjoyable just as it is. I can imagine children the world over pretending to: Hop, hop, hop. or Dig, dig, dig. Entirely precious and highly recommended, this is the kind of book that children will enjoy reading and re-reading (or having it read to them). Happy reading~*
