Format:Hardcover
retold by Anne Walter, for the 'HOPSCOTCH FAIRY TALES' series of books.
New style format for this range of books, with a puzzle section at the back.
From the back cover:-
'Dick is poor and hungry. He dreams of making his fortune in London. But when he gets there, life is hard! His only belonging is a cat. How will Dick ever make his fortune?'
32 high quality, numbered pages in the popular 2-page spread format, with clear text.
Illustrated throughout, by Roger Fereday, this book is further enhanced by a 2-page puzzle section on pages 30/31 (answers overleaf) along with some suggested extension work.
Example of text (first two pages):-
'Once there lived a poor boy called Dick Whittington.
He had no parents and was often hungry.
Every week, Dick saw the wagon go to London.
He'd heard that London had streets paved with gold.
"I'll make my fortune there," he thought......'
And one day that thought became reality when Dick jumped at the chance to ride to London with the wagon driver.
However... the streets look very different to what he had heard.
Although the optimistic lad thinks tomorrow will be better.......life gets rather hard - until a merchant, his daughter and...... a cat ......step into Dick's life, which, eventually, takes a well-earned turn for the better.
There are a number of 'HOPSCOTCH' stories to choose from and these are listed on the very last page, including:-
The Princess and the Pea (Also in NEW FORMAT)
Snow White
Hansel and Gretel
Little Red Riding Hood
The Three Little Pigs
