5.0 out of 5 stars Who is the beast?, July 27, 2000

Jill Ann Spriggs (Flower Mound, Texas United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Who Is the Beast? (Hardcover)

This is a true picture book-as the pictures tell the story beyond the words. The illustrations go the distance for story time reading, as well as working for up close inspection (be sure to look for that unconcerned snail on every page!). I just never tire of this book and its illustrations, and I have been a fan of it for six years. The illustration of carp, tiger, and jungle folliage provide visual saturation satisfaction. The simple repetitious rhymes are fun to say, they roll off the lips in a way not always found in rhyming text, with wonderful repeating sounds. The story message is sweet, loud and clear, yet subtle at the same time. Thank you for this gem, Mr. Baker!

Elizabeth A. Miller (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Who Is the Beast? (Paperback)

I have no children of my own but have been a nanny for 6 years. Of all the stories I've read . . . this is by far the best! I give it to every person I know with children! Thank you for such a wonderful story, such beautiful artwork and such wonderful sounds!

Margaret Schneider "Pro Web Head" (South Florida) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Who Is the Beast? (Hardcover)

A gentle reminder that we are not all so different after all.

My two young boys love this book - just as they love The Magic Fan by the same author. It's one of their favorite bedtime stories.

The illustrations feature some of the most beautiful colors and overall design. My kids really like the way the artwork goes all the way to the edge of the page.

We'll probably buy everything else by this author.

A tiger wonders why everything avoids him, and compares his body
