What Could Be Better than This?

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Linda S. Wingerter. When a prince marries the woman of his dreams, a master sailor, they lead a thrilling life together but long for something more: a child. This sentimental paean to family life is illustrated with luminous, romantic paintings; the gold color especially leaps off the page. The rhythm of the rhyming text is rocky in some places and singsongy in others.
Reviewer: Maeve Visser Knoth
