REALLY GOOD!!!!

I have been loving this book since I was 4 and now I'm 10 and I still love it! I love the vivid illustrations! There is always more to discover in every picture.

good adventure

I read the book for a 7-year-old Taiwanese kid (living in my neighborhood) and she found it intriguing. The fine and lively illustrations delicately organizes the whole story, which makes her retell the story thoroughly without missing any details by the atmospheric drawings of wildlife. In particular, kids may add their imagination to the original story. For example, if asked what Tangle will do if he doesn't decide to go home, kids may have many answers such as being taken away by the noisy skein of geese. Or the open questions like is it better for Tangle to go home or not? Anyway, a good book for parents to read for their kids. Enlightening!
