UNREAD, but not perfect, 1995 Morrow Junior Books hardcover (blue boards) & DJ (in mylar jacket), 1st edition, 2nd printing. Adorable and sweet color illustrations by Michael Hague. PROBLEMS: Spot on front board (like a drop of coke) and short "repaired" tear top DJ edge. CONTENT: CONTENT: Part poetry collection, part songbook, this bedtime volume will strike Hague fans as beautiful, others as precious. Hague's images, as always, are both ethereal and fantastical, recognizable by the palette alone (lots of ochre, brick red and moss green), and he creates worlds inhabited as comfortably by fairies and gnomes as by children and their parents. The volume has a self-consciously old-fashioned flavor, harkening back to Brahms and Tennyson and Robert Louis Stevenson, and evoking classic picture-book illustrations, a honeyed melange of Arthur… Read More
