Omschrijving
A whimsical modern fairy tale from internationally renowned cartoonist, Tom Gauld. Now available in paperback
...The precise, pristine illustrative style of Tom Gauld. His drily witty cartoons grace publications such as New Scientist, The Guardian and The New Yorker, and now he has produced a picture book, The Little Wooden Robot and the Log Princess. In the neat fairytale, a king and queen ask an inventor and a witch to give them what they most desire, children. The family is happy, but then the princess - who reverts to being a log at night - is cast out of the palace by mistake and her robot brother sets off to find her. It's every bit as sweet and charming as it sounds.
THE LITTLE WOODEN ROBOT AND THE LOG PRINCESS by the cartoonist Tom Gauld is a modern fairytale. It is a gorgeously illustrated picture book with a beautiful message about the special bond between siblings. I adored it. And so did Ernie!
