This book is a visual treat. The first page opens in the city in a color depicting the lack of open spaces in the city – black. The mood improves in the second page as if we drive out to the faraway open spaces. The book bursts with color from there on. The best part is that the dash of colors seems like something a kid would color given a blank page. Its simple, yet delicate. It conveys a complex theme which requires the child to think hard so it did not go down well at bedtime but I have read this to my daughter at other times and she loved it.
