There was a traveling exhibit in town that included memorabilia from the journey that H.A. Rey & his wife, Marguerite took when fleeing the Nazis. I missed the exhibit, but since I love their work, bought this book about it. The ink and wash illustrations are reminiscent of Bemelmens (who wrote & illustrated Madeline) than of H.A.Rey, who used cleaner lines and more solid colours.
I love that the book has the feel and energy of a Curious George book, even though my favorite Rey title is The Stars: A New Way to See Them.
