This is the most beautiful picturebook ... The text has humour, but the softly lit illustrations are glorious ... The ethos of the book is as gentle as its images: animals work together, are hospitable and polite, honour promises, share chores and settle quietly and cosily a night. Reading A House in the Woods makes you want to live there. -- Nicolette Jones * The Sunday Times * A House in the Woods is a stunningly illustrated children's book... This charming story is perfectly brought to life by Inga Moore's beautiful illustrations in browns, oranges and greens, which make this book a must-have for autumn. She has previously illustrated for The Wind in the Willows and The Secret Garden, and her distinctive and atmospheric pictures will make A House in the Woods a permanent fixture on children's shelves. -- Stacey Bartlett * We Love This Book website * Dedicated to beavers, who are the fastest and the best builders in the world, this book is set in an atmospheric woodland world . . . A simple tale brought to life in stunningly detailed pictures to return to time and time again. * Carousel * Words are really just a distraction in Inga Moore's fabulous A House in the Woods ... All you want to do is drink in the detail of Moore's unparalleled artistry: the dappled light of the forest, the expressive posture of the animals. Children will spend hours poring over it - but they're not having my copy. -- Dinah Hall * The Sunday Telegraph * a beautiful book ... lavishly imagined ... hilarious ... will captivate parents and children alike -- Kate Kellaway * Observer * Moore's own witty text, will make you fall in love with autumn. The images are glorious: deep rural scenes show orange leaves and reflected light on water, misty woods and pink sunset, firelight, illuminated windows and plumes of smoke - as well as machinery, tools and trucks. The text has humour, and the ethos of the book is as gentle as its illustrations: the animals (who all walk balletically on their hind legs) work together, are hospitable and polite, keep their promises, share chores and settle quietly and cosily at night. Reading A House in the Woods makes you want to live in it. -- Nicolette Jones * The Sunday Times *
Reseña del editor:
When two Little Pigs leave their home-made huts one morning, two very large friends move in - Moose and Bear. It's very nice to have your friends stay, but not when they cause your home to collapse! The solution: build a house in the woods where all four of them can live together, little and big. With some help from the beaver builders and a LOT of peanut-butter sandwiches, that's exactly what they do. Set in an idyllic woodland world, this stunning new title from Inga Moore is sure to entrance readers - both young and old.
