Horn Book Review

These elegantly designed gift editions feature 'authorized' colorized versions of Shepard's original illustrations, presumably to attract a new generation of children unused to black and white. But the colorization detracts from Shepard's vigorous line, giving many of the illustrations the look of a coloring book. From HORN BOOK 1991, (c) Copyright 2010.
