5-8 Infant/Junior
A retelling of a Grimms' fairy tale in which various suitors present themselves to Miss Cat, maid to the bereaved Mrs fox who is determined to wed only he who can compare favourably with her dead husband. Sara Corrin is herself a master storyteller so, as one would expect, this version reads aloud very well --- the language is stimulating and there is an effective use of rhyme. Errol Le Cain's illustrations are imaginatively designed so that each turn of the page offers an exciting visual experience.
