Big Tree

Morris Colman, New York, New York, 1946

Description

Juror Notes

This volume should entice any youngster. The illustrations are well printed. A noticeable feature—for juveniles probably not a fault—is the printing of the text on top of the background drawing on the double spreads between chapters. Young eyes can stand this—and the imaginative stimulant is obvious.
