Product Description
The Boy, the Troll and the Chalk
Author: Anne Booth
Format: Paperback
Recommended for ages 3+
Everybody knows a big, fierce troll lives in the cave at the edge of the playground, and they all leave it alone. Everyone except one boy, who takes his chalk to the mouth of the cave and draws a flower, colouring in every petal but one.
The next day the flower is finished, and so, day by day, the boy and the troll complete each other's pictures. Patience and kindness slowly reveal that the troll is not so frightening after all, and the other children soon join in.
Anne Booth's gentle tale, illustrated by David Litchfield, celebrates the power of art and imagination.
