Product Description

Product Description

Once upon a time, if you stood on the moon and looked down at the earth you could see the Great Wall of China, but 100 years later you could see nothing but clouds. And down below on lonely planet Earth, no one could see the sun.

Colin Thompson is a genius. He has now written many children's books which appeal to adults as well as children. You can read the story and grasp the deep and meaningful bit while your kids can enjoy the pictures! Look out for Cafe Max.

Every one a gem 10 Nov 2010
By Nicci D
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This man is a genius. Beautiful, intelligent, witty, appealing to all ages, these books are revisited by my children over and over again. Both of my children (9 and 7) are excellent readers for their age but still find the stories and the illustrations entrancing. You will NOT regret buying these books.

Our children's inheritance superbly crafted. 14 Aug 1999
By Julie Garnet (jgarnet@optusnet.com.au) - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Colin Thompson is a craftsman in both word and thought, 'Tower to the Sun' is a feast for the eyes and the soul. Imagination runs rampant while reality raps nervously on your sensibilities. In a world of darkness this is a story of a immensely rich man and his adoring grandson who decide to build a tower through the man-made smog so that each may feel the sun on their face. It is a vision of one real possibility facing the future generations and a warning of this generation's carelessness with the environment. A joy to read over and over again with pictures that reveal something new at every viewing. Children will delight at the endless variety and adults will marvel at the intricacy and depth to the story telling.

A REASSURING TALE OF HOME AND LOVE 3 Mar 2004
By Gail Cooke - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
The Tower To The Sun is an amazing edifice constructed by the inventive mind of England's Colin Thompson. As always, the intricacies of his brilliantly conceived illustrations fascinate in this conscience-raising tale of the richest man in the world who wants his grandson to see truly blue sky.

British writer/artist Jane Hissey takes toys and readers on a moonlight excursion in Hoot (Random House, $18.00). Her luminous watercolor paintings of button-eyed plush toys are wonderfully apt accompaniment for this reassuring tale of home and love.
