This is a sweet, quiet story with a special message. Like the Mushroom man himself, it may not appeal to young children at first glance, but introducing them to it will be well worth the effort. Moser's realistic pictures are dark with just a glimmer of light. They reinforce the quiet, emotive quality of the narrative and are a fine accompaniment to the story.
