Little Tim

by Edward Ardizzone

"Some of the saltiest and most satisfying picture books created during the last generation." - Maurice Sendak, author of Where the Wild Things Are ?Tim has the sort of adventures that every child needs, unshakably rooted in the real world, but unhampered by interference from anxious adults. His stirring but comforting maritime experiences are those a child might dream of - full of storms, shipwrecks and fascinating knots. He deals doggedly with dangers, never stints on chores below deck and always gets home after the voyage.? - 1001 Children's Books You Must Read Before You Grow Up ?This is pure escapism and it is refreshing to find a book of such quality surviving and succeeding through generations of readers but still being published today amongst the buzz and fizz of novelty books.? www.writeaway.org.uk ?The combination of exciting action, vivid characters and fabulously detailed illustrations still make the Little Tim series enthralling.? - The Ultimate First Book Guide

My children and I loved these books, and now I use them in my first grade classroom. The story and illustrations are beautiful and captivating. The audio is engaging and peaceful. Love, love, love!!
