Books for Keeps
The lovely illustrations in this book perfectly convey the warmth of the father son relationship related in the text. The rich, subtle colours and the pastel like texture of the pictures are very appealing. Pride and comfort are perfectly conveyed through both text and illustrations. The pictures, so wonderfully expressive, could easily be used to invite young children to provide possible thought or speech bubbles for the father and son.
