Product Description

Product Description

This is a brand new poetry book for children by award-winning poet Tony Mitton. Beautifully illustrated by Peter Bailey, "The Tale of Tales" is the story of a group of animals who are on a journey. Each animal in turn tells a story to the rest of the group (a bit like in "The Canterbury Tales") as they travel on their way. Join Monkey, Elephant and friends on their journey to Volcano Valley to hear the greatest story of all, the "Tale of Tales".


From the Inside Flap

'There's a magical quality about Tony Mitton's great tribute to the special qualities of storytelling' Guardian

'There are shades of Kipling and Chaucer in this book...The tales are perfectly complemented by Peter Bailey's wondefully varied black and white illustrations' The Bookseller

'Rhythm and rhyme make this book a delight to read aloud while Peter Bailey's bold and beautiful illustrations add to its timeless appeal' Child Education

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely tales, 11 Sep 2007
A charming series of tales recounted by animals who join a journey to hear the Tales of Tales. Many of the tales are told in Tony MItton's easy and amusing rhymes and each chapter is short enough for a bedtime story. A great introduction to reading books in chapters and the outline pictures are fantastic. It felt like a classic to me - a sort of Just So stories for younger children
