Product Description
Review
Trickling, bubbling, swirling, rushing, a river flows down from its mountain beginnings, past peaceful country and bustling city on its way to the sea. Hooper (The Drop in My Drink, 1998, etc.) artfully evokes the waters changing character as it transforms from milky-cold / rattling-bold to a wide, slow sliding past mudflats / looping through marshes to the end of its journey. Willey, best known for illustrating Geraldine McCaughreans spectacular folk-tale collections, contributes finely detailed scenes crafted in shimmering, intricate blues and greens, capturing mountains chill, the bucolic serenity of passing pastures, and a sense of mystery in the waters shadowy depths. Though Hooper refers to the cans and cartons / and bits of old wood being swept along, theres no direct conservation agenda here (for that, see Debby Atwells River, 1999), just appreciation for the rivers beauty and being. (Picture book/nonfiction. 7-9) (Kirkus Reviews)
Product Description
This is the story of a river as it twists and turns, from its source to the sea. It starts no wider then a hand, races downhill, over rocks, through fields, past farms, into the city. Finally, at the edge of the land, it ends its journey.
