What fantastic illustrations! Did the author produce the beautiful pictures and the words? This is so professional and such a classic - what a rare jewel to find among the Kindle Daily free downloads. How cute but not "too cute" or cutesy; how accurately the animals are drawn, yet with endearing expressions. The air of suspense builds. The word choices are perfect for beginning readers. Repeated words are part of learning to read, and these never feel tedious (like See Dick run, See Jane run).In a good way, this reminds me of a classic from my own childhood, Davey Deer and his Red Scarf. I spent a silly number of hours of my life staring at the pictures and reading, re-reading the words. (But nothing could ever top Captain Kitty.)The Deep and Snowy Wood is sure to be just as loved by future grandchildren (no sign of any in the near future, but books like this remind me how much fun it's going to be).
