From Publishers Weekly

Abridged and illustrated by Inga Moore, E. Nesbit's The Book of Beasts, originally published in 1900, makes a handsome picture-book edition. A boy king, fascinated by the Palace library, unwittingly unlocks a magical world lying dormant between the covers of a book. But in the process, he also releases a fire-breathing Red Dragon. Rendered in ink, oil pastels and oil paint, Moore's stunning illustrations spill over with a humor that also pervades in the text (e.g., "Master Lionel, dear, they've come to fetch you to go and be king," reads Nurse's thought bubble on the first page).

From School Library Journal

K-Gr 3-Originally published as part of Nesbit's A Book of Dragons in 1900, this carefully abridged version of the story retains the cadence and flavor of the original while omitting much of the extraneous detail (including mention of the boy's punishments for misbehavior). In this quaint tale, young Lionel suddenly learns that he is King, and in touring his Palace, he comes across The Book of Beasts in the library, magically releasing the realistic and fantastic creatures in the illustrations as he turns the pages. When he allows a large Red Dragon to escape and it begins to eat groups of people (and all the pussycats in the town), the boy King must find a creature that can help him to force it back into the book. Moore has created large full- and double-page illustrations for most of the story, along with a few vignettes-all of them showing caricature-style courtiers and animals rendered in ink, oil pastel, and oil paints. The wonderful Red Dragon and the Hippogriff-a lovely winged white horse-are especially charming. Some illustrations include conversation balloons. In comparison with Nesbit's own full text illustrated by Annabel Spenceley (Dial, 1988; o.p.), Moore's simplified edition is more easily read aloud, and her large, colorful illustrations hold more child appeal.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Very clever and, yes, enchanting!, Nov. 3 2003
Par Lisa Spence "MamaLisa" (Salem, MA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: The Book of Beasts (Hardcover)
This is one of those special children's books that has captivated me, as well my son. The text is filled with funny remarks for parental appreciation. And it appeals to a child's imagination, portraying the child as probelm solver as well as trouble maker. The story resolves in a surprisingly clever way, dispelling all the trouble caused by the dragon. This is a witty enchanting fantasy!

5.0étoiles sur 5 Kindling Imagination in a New Generation, Jui 11 2002
Par Kristen (Calgary, Alberta, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Book of Beasts (Hardcover)
The illustrations are lovely and the story is enchanting, but the way The Book of Beasts has inspired my 4 year old daughter's imagination is priceless. I have read it to her more times than I can count and neither of us ever tires of it, she loves the pure fantasy and magic in this book. She now fantasizes that she has her very own hippogryph (how many 4 year olds know THAT word??!!) and she flies all over the world with it. Not only is this book a treat in and of itself, but because it's beautiful illustrations and enchanting tale have inspired these wonderful flights of fancy I'm able to teach her about different countries: I simply ask her to whisper a destination into her hyppogryph's ear and close her eyes, and I take her to that place with words, describing as much as I can about the landscape and culture and people there -- but recently her hippogryph has been getting lost on it's way to Disneyland and ending up in places like Greece and Malta and Thailand.... ;-)

The first time we read it my daughter was bothered that the manticora ate the cats in town, especially since we have two cats. So I had to reassure her that first time, by skipping forward to show her that they were fine and happy in the end (was that one of the changes made in the update??) and then going back and continuing the story -- it worked and now she's fine with that part.

If you have young children in your life share this lovely tale with them. You won't regret it!

4.0étoiles sur 5 Watch Out For That Dragon!, Nov. 21 2001
Par Terrie (Little Chute, WI USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Book of Beasts (Hardcover)
This book is a lot of fun, sparkling with the wit of E.Nesbit and filled with fantastic beasts that stir up quite a bit of trouble for a little boy whose great-great-great-great-great grandfather has died and left a kingdom to him. The original, unabridged version was written in 1900 and is included in a collection of stories called "The Book of Dragons". Inge Moore's new version of the story of the Book of Beasts is a wonderful opportunity for us to enjoy these fun-filled characters and the gentle humour of this great childrens' author.
Meet the Blue Bird of Paradise, the huge Red Dragon,the Manticora, and the beautiful Hippogriff and discover young King Lionel's thoughtful solutions to the problems they create when they spring to life straight off the pages of the magical Book of Beasts.
Moore's illustrations are colorful and comic and I enjoyed them a lot. I am so pleased that this captivating E. Nesbit tale is once again available to a wide readership. Don't miss it.
