The soft minimal , but delicate illustrations in only black, white and ochre by Komako Sakai were perfect for the simple text. A child toddles after a butterfly, but it flies away.
A toddler explores his environment and is fascinated with the different animals who come near. When he attempts to get nearer to them they fly, wiggle or run away, but by that time Daddy's there to scoop him up in time for a shared adventure.
I love the illustrations and what they portray. This would be a very good book for baby times especially if it were available in board book form.
