[a:Jerry Pinkney|70868|Jerry Pinkney|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1373692582p2/70868.jpg] is a fabulous illustrator and I think I love his wordless picture books the best. While this one has a few illustrated words within the pictures the story is told so well in picture with much excitement of the animal characters that it is easy for a child to get lost in their imagination on the pages. This is exactly what I want to provide my children with and similar to he kind of things I loved to pour over as a child.
