This small, square book manages to subtly evoke Potter by mimicking the format and design of her books and including small visual details that may only be noticed by true Potter devotees. Told in the first person with direct quotes in italics, the text offers a brief glimpse of this beloved picture book creator. Winter depicts objects of a Victorian childhood in a contemporary style that allows for more immediate empathy from child readers. Bib.
