Customer Reviews

Anno a star

I love anything by Mitsumasa Anno, and some of his books are more for adults than children (or, happily, both). This is a lovely tale for children, born of his imagination....What if there was a coffee cup as big as a tank, and he started magining huge things.But then some things are perfect as they are - small. The tulip the King grows in a giant flower pot makes him realise that maybe biggest isn't always best.Anno's illustrations are beautifully realised and the tale well-told - a delight for children from about 3 onwards.
