A Tribute To The Imagination

In the land of Elsewhere, the queen calls for the "five fingers of the hand" to repair a broken moon essential to their well-being. Thumbkin, Pointer, Long Man, Gold Man and Pinkie each contribute their individual talents so everyone can once again live happily by night. Good lesson that each person has special gifts. This imaginative tale is cleverly spun and children will delight in the enchanting full page illustrations of a somewhat somber land in Elsewhere (inhabited by brownies and fairies), lit up by the glow of the moon, lanterns, candles, fireworks and strings of lights.
