he miniatures are AMAZING. Even if you don't care for picture books you should take a few minutes to look at this one. Seriously.

That up there is still absolutely true and utterly accurate. Details i noticed this time and feel compelled to mention: the paper dolls in the model sets are a very different vibe from Goldilocks. Also. I rather like the way Child addresses the traditional princess whiney aspect of the tale, and I kind of love that the prince and princess are so over the top and just the weenies bit exasperating. I expect they'll be quite happy together. The king and queen, on the other hand, are pur pragmatism.

Library copy, again
