Ursula Climbing

Once you have accepted the idea that a little girl, for no logical reason, could find a spell in a library book which enables her to turn into a bear at will, the Ursula books are very entertaining. I must admit to liking my magic a little less random than that but I did enjoy this latest offering in the series and the children enjoyed it too. The layout is enticing to newly independent readers, few lines on most of the pages and plenty of line drawings to split them up, all in what is obviously a 'longer' book. The story is amusing and the little girl resourceful and realistic. Worth a place in a top infant library.
