Lion at School and Other Stories

Philippa Pearce
 Caroline Sharpe
(Puffin Books)
978-0140318555, RRP £3.99, Paperback
5-8 Infant/Junior
Buy "Lion at School and Other Stories (Young Puffin Books)" on Amazon

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.
