Lion at School and Other Stories
Caroline Sharpe
A useful anthology of short stories for Top Infants, from a versatile storyteller. With her usual lucid insight into a young child's mind, Philippa Pearce expertly takes a minor incident and weaves a tale which strikes a chord within the reader's mind. By starting with the familiar, she gains credibility, captivating her audience and taking them into the fantastic. I shall take Lion at School with me to the Infant room when next I'm invited to share a story with those lively individuals! Good for solo reading too, for the more experienced.
