As as teacher of ESL  to Young Learners, I am always looking for books for the resource departmentat our Language Centre. This is one such book. I love this book on three levels. The illustrated in bold primary colours are captivating. Story becomes art and art is story. The story is an adventure and an exciting highly creative one. Such stories become favorites and in turn classics read by following generations. The story reminded me of the famous mice in Beatrix Potter stories, where the scale of the mice world and the real world is mesmerizing and exciting. The final very clever element in this great kids story is the consistent attention to grammar points Prepositions of place and superlatives are in the text, so kids learn grammar points as they read or are read to. When a children's book is artistic, creative, has a captivating storyline, and helps children to learn ...that is a winning combination and why I highly recommend this book.
