[U]ntil now I don't think I'd seen [foil in a board book] used as beautifully and artistically as it has by Clare Youngs... [O]nce you get inside, you'll find these enormously engaging shiny patterns on the animals. I think it's the use of foil in patterns (and delicate ones at that) that really blew me away... So for primo use of foil (and some thoroughly charming animals to boot) this is the series to watch.
