Title: A Loving Old Classic
Review: The classic, very old picture book from 1948 has lost nothing of its charm, and the illustrations are very laboriously drawn with great eye for the detail (little Sal's too big bib'n'braces falling from her small shoulders, for example). The inside cover illustration where Sal plays with the rubber rings for the preserve glasses reminded me of my own childhood when my mum made jellies and preserves.There's lots of text so I recommend from 3 years up and probably more for girls (as they tend to have a longer attention span). Also, I'd rather get the hardcover version because really, besides being a beautiful picture book, this little gem could be a perfect hand-me-down for generations to come.
