978-0099320708, RRP £2.50, Paperback
Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
A highly amusing fable which owes something to Kipling and Aesop; the longish text, chiefly in dialogue, is very witty and great fun to read aloud, Foreman's watercolours brilliantly convey the humidity of the lush jungle landscape and are a perfect complement to the text. The original hardcover was a landscape picturebook but this squarish paperback loses nothing in its change of shape and is excellent value. Thoroughly recommended.
