Borka
A re-issue of John Burningham's classic Adventures of a Goose with No Feathers in a large format, brightly coloured edition. The print is bold and clear with a very attractive layout. The story is a variant of the Ugly Duckling but without the cop-out ending. This goose is not going to turn into a swan . . . instead she manages, through trial and tribulation, to come to terms with her differences and find her own niche in life. Amusing, satisfying and original; no child should miss hearing this read and talked about. Welcome back, Borka!
