The First Christmas di Georgie Adams
51929
This book, over the years, has really had quite a work-out. I can't recall how many times the Gingerbread Man story was read...but probably many hundreds....frequently many times on the one night ....with the chant of "Run run as fast as you can.....you can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man". And the real Princess...and Goldilocks....ah it brings back generations of memories! But the illustrations here by Peter Utton are just outstanding. I love his work. Lovely free flowing watercolours ...often with the pencil lines or the charcoal showing through but he captures the mood perfectly; from the sly look on the fox as he persuades the gingerbread man to stand on his (the fox's) head.....to the umbrella held by the wise little pig as the wolf plops into the boiling pot of water. Utton just nails it. He's great. And, whilst I really like the illustrations, I must also give credit to Georgie Adams. The basic storyline is pretty much fixed and honed by generations of re-telling but keeping to the traditional story whilst modernising the words and making it fun and interesting is no mean feat. Georgie achieves this with stunning effectiveness. A great book for kids .....and hmmmm for me too. I give it five stars.… (altro)
Upstart Arnold Fox, who "loved chickens, not to eat - just as friends", deserts his carnivorous family and winss the heart of everyone inside the coop. Good-natured and witty, this story will stand up to many a reading.
