\n\u201cUp-to-the-minute illustrations and graphic design serve as the new-fangled foil to the well-known Russian folktale.. Working in a style reminiscent of Yumi Heo's for its flatness and angularity, Sharkey (Tales of Wisdom and Wonder) produces figures with beady eyes, spindly limbs and small, delineated smiles. They toil against a stark, elemental landscape that is mostly sky.. Sharkey's pacing creates a circular balance: the story begins calmly and ends calmly, with plenty of fun in between.\u201d <\/span> Publishers Weekly<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
