| Judges’ Comments A delightful study in how children’s typography need not be childish. If you want to expose your dearest Kinder to elegant, thoughtful type, you can do no better than this. The layouts feature a lovely combination of set type and hand-rendered text. The drawn typeface is perfectly judged, leaving the spoken narrative with just the right balance of playfulness and whimsy, integrating beautifully with the illustrations. | ||
