Puss in Boots illustrated by Fred Marcellino and with text translated from Charles Perrault by Malcolm Arthur (Caldecott Honor 1991) has gorgeous pictures. Each picture has a texture to it that gives it a sophisticated feel. The details are amazing.
The story is the traditional story of Puss in Boots. I feel a bit ambivalent to the story. The artwork makes this into something special. Just look at that cover!
