¡Qué libro tan bonito! Mi parte favorita han sido las ilustraciones, que te dan pistas sobre la adivinanza.

Las ilustraciones de este libro son hermosas, me encantaba abrirlo y ver página por página contemplando todos los detalles en las ilustraciones; eran tan mágicas y elegantes que podía pasar horas viéndolas.

Shame of a book, illustrations are gorgeous but the riddles are antiquated.

Example:
Four stiff-standers,
Four dillydanders,
Two hookers,
Two lookers,
And a flip-flap.

Enough said
