#54 Instructions by Neil Gaiman

[missingvolume]

 Even with the illustrations by Charles Vess, this one didn't capture me like some of his other children books. The art is great but to be honest the text left me a bit cold. I understand that it is a series of instructions to anyone that happens to wander into Faerie but the text didn't' feel as whimsical as the art. The book isn't bad but I think I am just a bit spoiled by Gaiman's work and always want the best.

I am wondering if it more effective hearing it out loud.

Yea it is better read out loud. It is probably a hit for kids story time readings.
