Title: New illustrations destroyed this wonderful children's book
Review: I bought this book because I loved the original as a child. I was sorely disappointed. The original, charming and careful illustrations have been replaced in this reprint with some terribly sloppy, cartoonish goop. Some of the animals in the illustrations are unrecognizable because the illustrations are, in my opinion, just a bunch of misshapen globs. Several times while I was reading this book, my 5-year old twins would ask me to explain to them what the picture was. Aside from just being downright ugly, the new, sloppy illustrations don't fit with the carefully chosen wording of the text. I'm going to track down a copy of the original edition and would urge anyone else to do the same.
