Product Description
Review
"Wonderful, painterly illustrations by Robert Ingpen... an ideal book to be shared in class or assembly... The text reads aloud well and the pictures are to be examined and wondered at again and again." Literacy and Learning "Memorable." The Times "A secular hymn for a wonderful but threatened planet. Haunting illustrations." The Glasgow Herald "This is a beautiful book." The School Librarian
Product Description
"Who is the world for?" asks the baby bear in her winter cave and the lion cub on his grassy plain and the baby hippo in the slow brown river. All over the world - in deep roomy seas, on high, green trees, in ice and snow - baby animals ask their parents this question. In a house in the city, the boy asks his father too - receiving the same emphatic proclamation in reply, "The world is for you!"

Taking the form of a poem, this gem-like story tells how the world is for every young being - animal and human. It is a classic tale movingly and amusingly told by a master story-teller and illustrated with stunningly beautiful paintings. Eternal and highly topical, Who Is the World For is for everyone.

The world is for everyone!
23 Mar 2001
Format:Hardcover
Beautiful pictures with poetic text, which needs to be read aloud slowly and savoured. Both my 3-year old and 7-year old love this book. They study the stunning illustrations in detail time and again and appreciate the message conveyed by the book - earth has a place for all living creatures.
