Fifty Red Night Caps
(Walker Books Ltd)
978-0744517835, RRP £3.99, Hardcover
5-8 Infant/Junior
A retelling of the traditional tale of how Nico lost his Nan's knitting to a horde of monkeys while on his way to the market and of how he regained it. The story is shiningly simple, a few brief paragraphs placed amidst pages of vividly depicted sprawling jungle. This book is delightful to look at, to read alone and to share.
