Lush paintings appear throughout, and Gustafson subtly tailors his images to the mood of each story. . . . Readers will be entranced by the striking attention to detail in the artwork accompanying these stories of love, cleverness, and just deserts. Ages 5–8.” —Publishers Weekly “Sumptuous visual finery. . . . Agreeable fare for sharing on a lap.” —Kirkus Reviews
