Perhaps I love this VanDusen as much as Circus Ship (which has been my all-time favorite for the past couple of years). Chris Van Dusen is definitely near the very top of my list of favorite illustrators ever and in this book he's at his best.

There are always lots of giggles and smiles as the kids listen and look at the beautifully illustrated pages!He has been treating patients with varicose veins since 1988 and has been a Consultant Surgeon at the Royal Berkshire Hospital since 1996.
