Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
Buy "The hunter and the animals: A story without words (A Sparrow book)" on Amazon

A wordless story in which a hunter gets lost in the forest and is led safely home by the animals who have been keeping a watchful eye, whereupon he becomes a reformed character. Designed like a frieze and inspired by a picture on an old Hungarian wood panel, this is, in my view, one of the artist's best books: besides the visual pleasure it gives, it offers plenty of food for thought and discussion.
