This beautifully illustrated book has a contemporary classic look but the adapted story transports the original tale, by Sergei Prokofiev, into the 21st century. Its modern twist teaches us how we should show respect for each other, whether human or animal, and by doing this everyone can enjoy a happy ending! Stunning illustrations bring this classic story to life. Rich, detailed artwork offers scope for shared reading and discussion. Features a modern twist with a relevant message about caring for each other and the environment. A follow-up title, 'The Pied Piper', will be released in 2016. Ayesha L.
