Illustrated by
Garth Williams.
This oversized "special read-aloud edition" contains large, easy-to-read print. Unfortunately, the enlarging of Garth Williams's pencil drawings, with their soft lines and shading, results in some indistinct and hazy illustrations. Grandparents and baby-boomer parents may appreciate the large print, but they won't appreciate the extra heft.
