Amazing Story and Illustrations!, Nov 10 2009
By Gerald McGrew - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Seeing Stick (Hardcover)
This is a must have for any child's collection of books. A classic tale that both entertains and teaches both with its words and illustrations. Probably most suited for kids who are first grade or older, but enjoyed by all ages. Highly recommended.

This review is from: The Seeing Stick (Hardcover)
This is a fairytale like no other! A mysterious old man, a beautiful princess and the magic of seeing with fingertips. Read as the little princess's world is transformed by her new perspective. Astounding illustrations and an expertly woven story mesmerize and delight. The magic of this tale lies in sharing a new view of the world with its young readers.

Most beautifully illustrated childrens book I've seen to date, Mar 6 2010

The first thing that struck me when I browsed through this book was not the story but the illustrations. In fact, I didn't even get half way through the story as I stood there in the bookstore before I decided that it really didn't matter to me how the story ended, I simply could not NOT have this book with its fantastic artwork on my daughter's bookshelf. Even if my daughter doesn't enjoy the book, I knew I wanted this work of art on my own bookshelf. While I love the story, I do find the story's text to be a bit choppy and dry, but perhaps my impression comes from the text's inability to live up to the lush and immersive artwork by Daniela Terrazzini. I highly recommend this book and I will definitely be looking for anything else Ms. Terrazzini publishes.
