It's a shame that you've got to point out when a picture book is formatted correctly to take up the whole screen, but unfortunately the majority of authors can't be bothered to do so in these early days of Kindle books. But with the three books by Elywn Tate that I've read, it is evident that this author is someone who cares about the reading experience of their work as the each of their Kindle books display the colourful pages across the whole screen in landscape (it won't let you read it in portrait) mode. The text is part of the colourful image. This book just looks really good on the screen. Like you are watching some screen shots of a Pixar movie or something. The illustrations are crisp, and a fun shape based in their look cartoon style.It's a very basic Christmas time plot, a couple of different animals are either run, run, running, or hop, hop, hopping, or dig, dig digging to a mysterious destination.  Why? That is the question other animals ask so of course they follow.
