This is a classic 'vibes' book. If you’re into that vintage, British aesthetic and want something that feels like a quiet afternoon in a dusty library, you'll love it.

However, let's be real: it’s a bit of a relic. It’s beautiful to look at, but it lacks the narrative hook that keeps modern kids coming back. It’s a solid 'read it once and appreciate the art' choice, but don't expect it to replace their favorite high-energy favorites. Also, keep an eye out for those 70s-era cultural blind spots in the illustrations.
