| Grade 1 Up–Conjuring up the whimsy of Antoine de Saint-Exuperys The Little Prince (Harcourt, 1968), this Dutch import recounts the life of a woman growing up among benevolent animals. One fine day, the animal residents of a little harbor town are startled to find a large white swan carrying a baby girl on its back. The child, Josie, is adopted by Sanford, the pig carpenter, and grows up poor but happy with her tender guardian. When she turns seven, he dies, leaving her to be cared for by the other animals in the community. In three distinct sections, the book presents an array of small, meaningful stories involving Josie, her soldier husband, and their child. It is at its best, however, when tackling larger issues like death and grief. In one tale, the protagonist is given the key to a wardrobe into which all the animals may place their grief, so they do not have to feel their pain. In time, however, it becomes clear that without grief, a person cannot laugh or cry or even remember those they have loved and lost. Juttes pen-and-ink illustrations are reminiscent of those by Ernest H. Shepard. A truly beautiful purchase for libraries of every size.–Elizabeth Bird, New York Public Library |
