Whimsy

But what is whimsy? Is it the madness of Fox or the weirdness of Prat? These two delightfully absurd creatures compete with each other to be the most whimsical. This is a warm, funny, gorgeously illustrated picture book about weirdness, differences, and the very endearing nature of eccentricity. Ruchi Mhasane's gift for comic composition perfectly complements Annie Besant's humorous text. The lush images, sweeping vistas, and remarkable close-ups add to the whimsical nature of the tale. The nuanced text never states more than it has to, leaving much up to the imagination, while still fueling it with quiet, quirky wisdom.
