COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Imaginative illustrations submitted by FordAlpha on August 20, 2018, 8:59pm I find Mem Fox's picture-book texts to be reliably good, but rarely outstanding. "This & That" follows the trend, with a mouse parent telling nonsensical bedtime stories about "this and that", finally switching to "that and this" so as to rhyme with "kiss" (as in a kiss goodnight). The rhyming text is spare, and the charm of the book is mainly in Judy Horacek's imaginative illustrations, which flesh out the stories suggested by the words while showing the mice traveling through the narrative in sometimes unexpected ways. My 2-, 4-, and 6-year-olds enjoyed it but didn't ask for repeats.
