Photo via GoodReads.comMy Review: Joanna Politano's books have a special place on my bookshelf. Her style is unique and unmatched, and never fails to draw me in.

 Image from Amazon.com ❤❤❤❤❤= Loved it My Review:The illustrations are what sold me on this book. I would have loved the cute bunnies, lambs and other animals as a kid, and honestly, as an adult I'm enjoying them nearly just as much now. Sometimes artists tend to simplify kid's book illustrations (something I've disliked since I was little) but these are detailed and perfectly whimsical....
