Under the Moon

Three stories in the fairy tale tradition and with all the right ingredients to hold children spellbound. There's the little old woman who's so busy cleaning her little old house she has no time to sit with her little old husband. Then there's little Ivan who's tricked out of his dinner by a wolf and her three cubs and, finally, the trial of strength between the apple child and the thoroughly nasty elder bogle. With plenty of full-page, black-and-white atmospheric illustrations, a well laid out text and the familiar fairy tale structures and conventions, these excellent stories are perfect for junior solo readers or for sharing with infants.
