Stunning both in imagery and execution. The piece is an elaborate rendering of the village in the story, with stores, restaurants, and even a herring kiosk for the cats. Across the river we see the "bad" part of town where the foxes live, practicing 3-card Monte. This watercolor appears in the book as a double page spread on pages 8-9. Conover's work is noted for rich colors and incredible attention to detail, some of which is executed using a magnifying glass for accuracy. There is plenty to look at, yet without the overcrowding that hampers many books. A gorgeous piece.
