Paper Chase (Hb) | Julia Donaldson

 


A captivating paper chase, and an unforgettable adventure
. . .
Two children meet under a tall tree. James has a book. Ginger
has a paper plane. They become friends . . . but then they're parted.
Will they ever meet again?


But this isn't just James and Ginger's story: it's a paper
chase!


Much-loved storyteller Julia Donaldson weaves
the children's tale of friendship into the amazing story of how
paper is made.


With perfect, read-aloud rhymes and glowing
illustrations by Victoria Sandøy, this is
a story of friendship and adventure like no other.





Gruffalo author Julia Donaldson has created a
heartfelt, joyful story with a totally unique twist


Children will be fascinated to see the remarkable journey
of one tall tree as it's turned into paper, and becomes
all sorts of things that we use, from bags and boxes to letters,
cards and books

Julia Donaldson's perfect, read-aloud rhymes
are brought gorgeously to life by acclaimed illustrator, Victoria
Sandøy. The warm, richly atmospheric illustrations
are brimming with exquisite details

Praise for The Christmas Pine, also by Julia Donaldson

to tradition, the gentle rhythmic verse and stunning pictures
illuminate the two other things close to Julia's heart: the power
of children and song"
