Haddock
Illustrated by Fiona Moodie
(Hodder Wayland)
978-0750014458, RRP £4.99, Paperback
5-8 Infant/Junior
The 6- and 7-year-olds with whom I read this were really indignant at Mermaid's treatment of Haddock and obviously amazed at the inexorable totality of Haddock's love for her. The children enjoyed this story and have asked for it several times since, yet older readers would appreciate more fully the humour in Jan Mark's direct reporting style. A memorable book with distinctive illustrations.
