The Grey Lady and the Strawberry Snatcher

This is a masterpiece. It's the wordless story of a woman, cloaked all in grey, who buys strawberries at the fruit market. She is followed home through an eerie swamp by an equally eerie and strange-looking character who is as persistent as you or I would be if we were dying for some strawberries. The chase goes on for most of the book, but she eventually gets away. The snatcher discovers blackberries, in the meantime, and the last we see of him he is feasting on some big, ripe, juicy ones.One of my favorite things about this book is that there is so much to "catch," despite countless readings. Every page is like opening a treasure chest. The colors are magnificent; the idea and the execution of the book are one-of-a-kind. Be observant and you'll enjoy this book for years, as we have. If I had to get rid of all but five books in our entire children's book library, this is one of the five I'd keep. This book has been among both of my children's favorites of all times.
