The Girl in the Castle inside the Museum

This book is written by Kate Bernheimer and illustrated by Nicolette Ceccoli. The storyline was ok, but what really wows you are the illustrations. Nicolette Ceccoli is an Italian painter and artist and very unique in what she draws. The story is about a beautiful young girl that lives in a magical castle inside a museum. The story and pictures take the reader into a fantasy world. You'll find funny little wind up toys made of dice and spinning tops. Beds posts are made of windmills and buttons. The colors are very soft and calming, however, there is a bit of a strange flavor to the book. After I read the book, it was like I'd just woken up from a dream that was neither good or bad. Just weird. Check it out and let me know what you think.
