The colors of this book are fantastic! The drawings are detailed and fun, and young children will delight in finding all the amusing visual jokes on each page. The story is a simple and delightful one, in which a tired mother plays with her tired child to get them both home in a fun and loving way. This is a children's book that everyone can appreciate.

My children loved this story, and related well to its premise. Who doesn't want to be varried? The illustrations are cheerful and whimsical. Highly recommend.

Enhanced throughout every page by Peter van H armelen's intricate pastel artwork, Heleen van Rossum's Will You Carry Me? is the picturebook story of a toddler who is too tired to walk but too big to be carried. When he asks his mother, "Will you carry me?" she comes up with inventive solutions - if he's too tired to walk, then the two of them can jump, swim, fly, or run home together! The warm and cheerful illustrations set alight the charm of this playful read-aloud story.

The illustrations in this book are just beautiful, full of life and detail. The story is fun and moves along at a good pace. I like the ideas the mom in the book comes up with too. Both my toddler and I love this book.
