The artwork is splendid and evocative, the verse is damn near perfect... you could believe that HPL intended something like this if he were more visually-oriented. A simply beautiful book.
I love the cute artwork, and the wording is simple enough to read to a child, but isn't too simplistic as to loose the story. Actually makes me wish I had a child of my own to read this to.... every night... till Cthulhu rises...
