Format:Paperback
Philip Pulman's version of the traditional tale is very enjoyable for young children and the adults reading with them. It's a kind of pantomime, with extra characters & situations - not only the wicked ogre but also a princess, ghouls & dungeons. This story can always start a lively discussion about fair play and who deserved what. The extra characters & situations which aren't included in simpler versions of the story make it more interesting & provoke responses from children - it makes them think, & they are likely to get involved.
The illustrations have interesting details, lots of humour & speech occasional bubbles encourage the readers to take part.
