Am not sure why the library has this with the chapter books instead of the picture books, since it's not very text-heavy and is fully illustrated on every page. The jacket flap even says, "Illustrated with magnificent full-color paintings by Michelle Nikly." No matter; recataloging it would be an unnecessary hassle.
