The Grape That Ran Away
(Bodley Head Children's Books)
PICTURE BOOK, 978-0370302553, RRP £3.25, Hardcover
5-8 Infant/Junior
A most attractive rendering of an old French folk tale. A runaway grape eludes all her pursuers in an adventurous dash and is eventually rescued by a fairy and put safely back in her bunch --- to await her final fate. Excellent to read aloud and the cumulative nature and directness of the tale makes it a 'natural' for young readers. Good, clear print too. Individuals will want to linger over the beautiful, glowing pictures: I've noticed several of my infants feeling the pages as they read.
