My last bullet point was from personal experience. This book bothered one of my children at a very early age, but it was soon quite benign and he could see the humor in it.
We can’t ever get over all the details in Jan Brett’s work. There’s often a sub-story in her art as there is in this book. See if you can find it when you check it out!
