The pictures are beautiful and will keep small children contented for hours. But,the prose on the other hand,is somewhat clumsy and seems to have lost something in it's translation. The book provides an imaginative and humorous explanation of a total eclipse. The illustrations are clearly done by the same man as RAINBOW FISH,the author of both books.

RATING:B-
