The Animal Parade

Dick King-Smith
Illustrated by Jocelyn Wild
(Mammoth)
978-0749719609, RRP £4.99, Paperback
8-10 Junior/Middle
Buy "The Animal Parade: A Collection of Stories and Poems" on Amazon

A lovely collection of fables, extracts from stories and cautionary verses about animal comings and goings, 'beings' and 'doings'. A note of originality in the author's gorgeous rewrites of Aesop, which I loved, gave us a moment to reflect upon our demands upon the animal world. The tale that made me laugh out loud on a cold Thursday morning was from Harry's Mad, one of Dick King-Smith's own contributions. The very last line is astounding!
