Fog Island Hardcover – Picture Book, April 16, 2013

I purchased this book for my daughter and I have not been disappointed. The illustrations are beautiful and the story is quite charming. She and I both enjoy reading this in the evenings. Perfect for sparking imagination!

My four year old grandson for whom I purchased the book was absolutely enthralled by it. He wanted to read it several times a day. The drawings were superb and so suited to the story line.

i bought this book to read to my grandchildren.and keep it in a special childs bookcase in case theywant to pull it out themselves and go thru it to seethe pictures or readon their own.the drawings are also so great.

This illustrator's work has a unique and delightful character. We read The Beast of Monsieur Racine many times to our children. Our grandchildren are taken with this recently published boo, which captures a mystique and the special bond of experience between siblings. It also celebrates and educates young readers on a passing agrarian way of life. The story combines mystery and a hint of danger, with the values of love of family and of local mythology, even as it raises questions about the source of superstition and of conventional wisdom.

Children's picture books are the best value for art. Some of them don't have much of a story, but this was does. It's not reluctant to scare a little bit but, of course, there's a happy ending.

Book was in decent condition, but was a former library book, which I think should have been disclosed.

One of my 4 year old's favorite stories. The pictures are great, the story is an adventure! A nice 5 minute read.

Excellent
