Title: The Griffin and the Minor Canon
Review: A truly wonderful book. I was given this book by my next door neighbour who was a childrens' book reviewer, and I have loved it ever since. I now read it with my six year old son.The illustrations by Maurice Sendak, which are much finer, more detailed and more intricate than his illustrations in 'Where the Wild Things Are' and 'The Night kitchen', are beautiful and complement the text wonderfully.Frank Stockton's prose is lovely to read, easily understood by even younger readers but still provides a salient message about tolerance, acceptance of others and sacrifice for our friends and the community.I cannot recommend it highly enough. It should be on all school reading lists.
