King Rollo's Winter
Four sensitively written little books featuring the characters in King Rollo's household. Full of fun and simple detail, the stories tell about each season and its peculiarities through the freshness of David McKee's approach, using his King Rollo character whom he shows as curious and innocent but who is informed by the cook, the wizard and the queen.
The simple storyline and the clear, attractive pictures make these an excellent first series for very young children finding out about their world. Highly recommended.
