Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Five Little Fiends is certainly different and probably unique in its presentation of an important concept: that of sharing, something that children of all ages need to discuss and understand. The five little fiends in question live inside statues and look out at the world. They each choose a part of it, their favourite individual part, and take them home, back to their statues to look at whenever they choose. The sun, the moon, the land, the sky and the sea are all removed and stowed away in the statues. Read the story and find out what happens, when each little fiend realises the global impact of his or her combined selfishness. Most of the text is straightforward, though some vocabulary may require explanation, and the format and layout of the illustrations is simple and uncluttered, all adding emphasis to the overlying theme of sharing. The book will be accessible to quite a large age range of children, because it highlights a concept that needs to be accompanied by discussion. (5 years and above) --Susan Naylor --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Review
'A simple message, boldly told, brilliantly designed- you couldn't ask for more from a book than the stunning debut by Sarah Dyer' The Sunday Telegraph 'The five monsters in this inventive and intriguing story will give children lots to think about' 'important messages about sharing and the environment' The Independent

5.0 out of 5 stars A charming book with wonderfully magical illustustrations, 11 Aug 2001
By Ms. Al Felstead (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Five Little Fiends is a wonderfully imaginative little book that celebrates our earth in an educational and very charming way. It tells a story of how the five little fiends wish to capture their favourite element for themselves, whether it be the sun, moon, sea, earth or sky. Once captured, however, they realize that without the other four elements, the one they have chosen to keep cannot survive. Beautifully executed, the illustrations are not only origional, but magical. It seems a great deal of thought has gone into the space within the drawings which is so essential to the story. I would recommend this lovely little find to any child or adult.
