- Abstract
- en_US A small army of DK people have put together one of my favorite books. It is an oversized book (10½ x 13½) made up of twelve double-page spreads of photography. The book tells the tale of TMCM in clever quatrains, one to each spread, all ending with peas. The verse is adapted from Richard Scrafton Sharpe (1759-1835). The beautiful photography plays a delightful game with the reader, who needs to find the mice hiding in each photograph, along with five carefully placed green peas. Along the way, the photographs involve lovely textures and colors. The pictures offer a lavish tour through nostalgic items from toys to clothes and then out into the garden. There are several spreads in which I still come up one pea short!
