1: This is a marvelous book!
This book invites children to look beyond the surface and follow the grey lady as she escapes from the strawberry snatcher. The grey lady is often difficult to find, but children 2+ yrs. are able to find her with much excitement. This is an absolute must have!

2: Unique and imaginative
My 3 yr old and her entire preschool class love this book. It does look a little scary but they find it very exciting and even act it out.

3: Gave me bad dreams
I vividly remember looking at this book in the school library(back in 1987)and had several nights of bad dreams afterwards. It isn't necessarily scary for most people, but for a child who has not been exposed to sinister images it may be quite creepy. I was raised in a home without television, thus I had very little exposure to scary images as a young child. If the child or children you are considering this book for are uncomfortable with creepy stories, then I would recommend passing on this one for now. Many of Molly Bangs' other books are wonderful.

4: Great Illustrations
One of my absolute favorite childhood books. Imaginative story with wonderfully detailed illustrations that inspired me to go to art school.

5: Heck, I like this book.
This is the first wordless book I bought for my son, and I must say that I am struck by the beauty of the illustrations. They're almost too pretty for a pre-schooler . . . .
Without words, the illustrations tell an engaging and suspenseful story about a woman, her strawberries and a dark creature in hot pursuit.
Wordless books are nice to have in a household like mine where Mom and Dad speak different languages, because we can both read them to our child without resorting to translations on-the-fly. And, when he gets big enough, the child can read the book to himself or his siblings.
This book, though, is especially enjoyable. I am sure it will remain a favorite in our house.
