What I like best is the Jan Brett-illustrated version of this classic tale. The "architecture" in the pictures, the food and plant-life, as well as the attire of the owl & pussycat themselves all give this edition an ethnic appeal that I really enjoy -- and so does my 9 month old! Being from the Gulf Coast, the tropical setting is very familiar to us and thus affords side-discussions about eating plantains and coconuts, magnolias in bloom, and trips to the beach for fishing and such. What a nice juxtaposition to tale from Victorian England!!
