Herbert - Five Stories
Illustrated by Patrick Benson
(Walker Books Ltd)
978-0744547788, RRP £4.99, Paperback
5-8 Infant/Junior
Ivor Cutler specialises in transforming the ordinary into the surreal. Patrick Benson's illustrations give vibrance with the slightly febrile quality of dreams and make this book unforgettable and unputdown-able. Others have successfully used the device of a child waking each morning as a different creature but this book, with its exploration of the characters, adds another twist.
