review:
'On A Journey' by Flemish writer and illustrator Guido Van Genechten is a wonderful book about the joys of travel and the lesson that sometimes it's the journey, not the destination.

Hedgehog invites his friend frog along on the trip. Frog doesn't know where they are going, but wants to know when they will arrive. Hedgehog patiently doesn't answer. They travel on and on and see beautiful things. Eventually, they get back to their village and Frog learns things about himself. Hedgehog gives him a present to remind him about their journey.

The art in this book is so very good. Since the artist is from Europe, the art has a special look because the buildings don't look like what a normal American child would see. This adds a whimsical touch to the story. The lessons of journeys is told in a wonderful way. I really liked this book.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Clavis Books and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
