Quentin Blake's drawings are rendered in black on light cream pages in the Candlewick Press edition; they lose in the translation from the Walker Books colorful illustrations. Blake and Pennac (and translator Adams) are a good team. Parents, teachers, and all who work with, live with, or have any contact with children should read the book. So should people who just want to dip in, to see if they like reading, read this book. Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2015 Verified Purchase Excellent little book by a French author with a love of reading, experience as a teacher, and a sense of humor. Among the rights of readers are skipping, dipping in, reading anywhere, quitting a book we don't like and reading out loud. His purpose is to promote the love of reading in children rather than seeing reading as primarily for educational purposes, thus taking the pleasure out of it. Well translated and nicely illustrated. Worth re-reading. Pass on your love of reading! Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2014 Verified Purchase Like the other reviewers, I do believe that this book should be required reading for all at least every year.
