The printed comics were admittedly meh, but this full-blown production deserves an ovation. Libraries should consider investing in both “very reasonably priced” volumes.
An illuminating set of contrasts and parallels likely to leave younger audiences primed to welcome different ways of celebrating every version of the new year and to compare them with those of their own families.
Those with a fondness for nature, animals, a farm at night, and the lovely nocturnal atmosphere will cherish this selection; especially recommended for young readers interested in this style of illustration.
