978-0744520385, RRP £4.99, Paperback
8-10 Junior/Middle
Breathtakingly beautiful. Angela Barrett's pictures are so cold and frosty the paper positively crackles. The text is wonderful for reading aloud and the story begs to be talked about. This book will thrill and delight reader and listener every time it's read and re-read. All schools should buy several copies.
