The pleasure of reading Paxton's rhymes is enhanced by Robert Rayevsky's illustrations, with their strong, earthy tones and engraving-like details. Although his work for his first collaboration with Paxton, Aesop's Fables, had a decidedly Renaissance sensibility, here Rayevsky draws inspiration from a wide range of periods, from ancient Rome to modern New York City. An excellent third collection from this duo! ( )
