The Paper Bag Prince Brings Family Together,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Paper Bag Prince (Dragonfly Books) (Paperback)
My daughter brought home "The Paper Bag Prince" by Colin Thompson, from our trip to the library. What a delightful surprise when we sat down together to read it. The story itself is wonderful; it teaches children how nature works so hard to repair human polution, how the main character never lost sight of what was important in life (nature and home) and it demonstrates caring and compassion. But the best is yet to come. Along with this story is the most wonderful illustrations. Not only did we play "I Spy" on each page, but the illustrations make your eye and mind work so hard, you cannot help but be entertained. I have turned to Amazon to order my own copy, and look forward to sharing this artistic work with my nieces as well. This is a keeper! Bravo!

Wonderful story of the resillience of nature,
By Sam G "sam-80" (The Valley, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Paper Bag Prince (Dragonfly Books) (Paperback)
This is the first book that I ever saw of Colin Thompson's and became enchanted with his detailed illustrations. I could look at his work for hours discovering something new everytime. He has also written a beautiful story to go along with his illustrations. This is one of those classic books you want to keep forever.
