The Boy, The Bear, The Baron, The Bard

In general I'm a tough critic of wordless books. So The Boy, The Bear, The Baron, The Bard stands out against the mass of mediocre books as one with a clever plot, well-told through illustration. Elisabeth loves it, and since we have had it from the library, takes it out of the book basket to read on most days.

[One of the reasons that I snapped this picture was my sheer delight that when I have to do the dishes, Elisabeth can pull out a book and quietly enjoy it while I finish what needs to be done. What a blessing!]
