Amazon.co.uk Review
As with so many of Anthony Browne's works, this is an intriguing, many layered, hugely entertaining book which can be read again and again, and which will appeal to adults and children alike.
Voices in the Park revisits a previous book by Anthony Browne, A Walk in the Park, written 20 years ago, but now sadly out of print. (Age 4 to 8) --Philippa Reece
Book Description
Product Description
Four different voices tell their own versions of the same walk in the park. The radically different perspectives give a fascinating depth to this simple story which explores many of the author's key themes, such as alienation, friendship and the bizarre amid the mundane.
Anthony Browne's world-renowned artwork is full of expressive gorillas, vibrant colours and numerous nods to Magritte and other artists, while being uniquely Browne's own style.
From the Back Cover
FIRST VOICE:... frightful types in the park
SECOND VOICE:... took the dog for a walk
THIRD VOICE:... I had to go home
FOURTH VOICE:... I felt really, really happy
Four different people visit the park, and their lives touch for a time.
What do they see? What do they say?
An intriguing and involving book that invites examination again and again.
Witty and thought-provoking. Subjective viewpoint.
The park reflects the character's moods and perspectives.
Come for a walk in the park... What will you see? What will you hear?
