Forbidden Doors
Illustrated by P J Lynch
This collection is like a glorious narrative advent calendar: open each story 'door' to find the delight which hides behind it. The thematic link of the stories - opening forbidden doors - is irresistible to children and here it's used intriguingly in a variety of fables which reward, punish and warn. There is endless scope for individual, collaborative and cross-curricular work, or the stories could simply be read aloud and enjoyed. Patrick Lynch's illustrations are meticulously drawn, contributing to the quality of this superb, competitively priced anthology which bridges the gap between top Junior and Year 7 bookshelves.
