Dare I speak ill of a book that has received such accolades as having "a classy enduring feel"? Well, yes, if the shoe fits. Frankly, when a four-year-old I know failed to grasp the thrust or direction of this short story (and I use that term loosely), I decided to have a proper look myself and promptly drew a blank.

Scant content with an indecipherable and jarring plotline makes this one to miss - especially when you factor in the exorbitant price tag.

However, those parents who simply MUST have a full and complete library for their offspring can find some solace in the fact that the illustrations go some way to make up for a dire lack of substance.

Totally uninspiring.
