Lost In The Sea Of Despair

Children’s Books

Another title in the Lost series, with its now well recognised format. This looks at the dangers and despair of being lost at sea and marooned on a desert island. As well as providing interesting facts about marine life and survival techniques, a series of problems is posed. If the reader chooses the wrong option, moving to a designated page will explain the consequences. The method of imparting knowledge is thought-provoking. Suitable for age eight and upwards.

Luan Agus An Morphiano by Gemma Breathnach (Futa Fata; €9.95 HB As Gaeilge) This is a charming story about Luan, a talented, music-loving mouse who lives under the floorboards of a concert hall. Luan is overjoyed when a grand piano is put on stage, but a certain Madam Allegretto is furious when she sees him bouncing up and down on the keys. At night during her concert performance Luan falls onto the piano, and, to everybody’s amazement he plays quite beautifully - his hours of practice having paid off. This is a gentle and touching story, enhanced by Delphine Bodet ’s warm illustrations Suitable for age three to six.
