This beautifully illustrated book by Allan Baillie, is a celebration of imaginative play. It melds together reality and fantasy. Drac (the girl) sets about to subdue the Gremlin of the Groaning Grotto (her younger brother). She uses her ultra-laser beam (a wrapping paper-covered kitchen paper roll and attempts to rescue the White Wizard(a butterfly) from General Min and her Hissing Horde (the cat and her kittens.) This book would be a useful medium in the study of alliteration. There are many book by Allan Baillie for all reading levels in the Little Library of Rescued books.
This blog contains reviews and comments on children's books which I own, have read, and would like to share. I look for books at markets and opportunity shops. They are cleaned up, covered and read. Then I take them to the classroom for students to read. Students can borrow the books at any time. Many books are also from my personal library, especially the Youth Fiction. Students can preview some of them on this blog. Now, I am also on the lookout for great new releases for my grandson Archie.
