PS
This collection of nursery rhymes doubles as an offbeat counting book. Through sunny, crisply rendered art, the Dillons have created a sweetly surreal space inhabited by humans, animals, and dancing numerals. Such intriguing details broaden the meaning on every page. A charming and original vision that's also just plain beautiful: this Mother Goose belongs in the permanent canon.
