This is a perfect picture book. All kinds of hidden things to find, well invented not-to-scary monsters, a very calm rescue/denoument. It's beautiful and I love it. ( )

In my opinion, this is a fun and entertaining book. The writing style and arrangement of the story adds to it by presenting the story in a manner similar to a comic book. The book is written in real time, with one scene being presented in the following manner across two pages: "he attacked and the bear fought valiantly...but was torn to pieces". The illustrations are the primary medium that delivers the story. The text is there to explain each illustration. The lesson of this story is to avoid the desires to explore needlessly, as satisfying your curiosity might be more trouble than it's worth. ( )
