![]() Teach Primary Magazine has described Tracey Corderoy's The Little White Owl as 'beautifully phrased and gorgeously illustrated...an original and enchanting book that has all the makings of a children's classic...' ..."The protagonist of this captivating story, by Tracey Corderoy, may not have a name, but he is nonetheless more than worthy of his place on the literary branch of fame alongside such other well-loved owls as Sarah, Percy, Bill and Plop. Alone, but not lonely, he is a happy little messenger, whose mission is not, as one might presume given the opening pages, to find friends - but rather, to awaken the warmth and imagination that lies dormant within those who are living a limited existence despite boasting bright colours and many companions. Beautifully phrased and gorgeously illustrated, this is an original and enchanting book that has all the makings of a children's classic; the author's evident affection for her tiny hero is irresistible." |
