Title: Updated version not up to par!
Review: I remember this book very fondly from when I was a little girl and wanted to give it as a gift to my dearest friend for her children. I was happy to see it was still in print and ordered 2 copies, one for me as well. Well, I am sad to say I returned it promptly because the book has lost its charm due to the, dare I say, bad illustrations! The bird is not cute at all, but rather frightening, as are the other animals, and the text is not laid out well on the pages, making it difficult to read through. I am happy to say though, that I found a very good used copy for sale, and the children are enjoying the original version with the original illustrations and loving every page! Newer doesn't mean better!
