Why read it?

1 author picked Yellow Yellow as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I have kept my copy of this book since the 1970s! The story is simply told but the illustrations drawn in black ink and one colour are so full of weird and quirky things that appeal to my imagination. Every time I look at it I see something new!  A great book for beginner readers and eagle-eyed children and adults. A perfect picture book.

From Deborah's list on to happily lose yourself for hours.
