Media Reviews
"The fun is seeing how Baker transforms lines or shapes in one picture into something totally different in the next: a spider web to a ship's rigging, a sweeping green feather to a curling ocean wave....In all, an illustrator's tour de force, and a great stimulus to a child's visual imagination."
-- Kirkus
