My Neice asked me for this book...,
By
This review is from: Attila, Loolagax and the Eagle (Paperback)
...it had been read to her in class at story time and she wanted to hear and read it again, always the best way to engage Children with the power of literature I feel. Anyway I bought it for her and we read it together. I can see why it captured her imagination and had the class captivated, it really is a lovely little book and written in the classic style of good Children's literature. I remember the Author in her other guise as an Actress, a career in which she is extremely accomplished, her writng skills are every bit as good and honed, this dear little book has a lot to tell Children about being unfraid of individuality. The central characters, a Penguin and an Eagle, are unhappy living the life they are supposed to and try and find the life they want instead. I pray the rights are never sold to Disney, they would ruin it's subtle sentiment with syrup and silliness. I highly recommend this book for all children, excellent for informing the "misfit" stage most children experience at some time!
