Look Closely // Storyteller Box

"Oh, you're just talking silly talk."  A lyrical poem, full of stuff and nonsense, illustrated beautifully and intricately to bring silly notions to life.  The illustrations are worth poring over, with tiny surprises and details hidden on each page.  Perhaps rain makes applesauce sounds like an impossibility to you, but a tiny illustration in the bottom right of each page proves that it really is so.  

The perfect box for introducing children to poetry and the belief that anything is possible if you dream big enough.
