| THIS IS THE OASIS Illustrated by Adrienne Kennaway |
|
| This prose poem celebrates the oasis, a green jewel in the desert surrounded by hundreds of miles of sand, and the birds, insects animals and people who rely on it for their survival. With information about the Sahara and the Tuareg people, it is a perfect introduction to the harsh but beautiful desert wilderness and the life it supports.
“Brilliantly presented in a mix of gorgeously evocative text linked with artwork that succeeds in being both pictorially pleasing and accurate. The words...flowing, descriptive and frequently alliterative ...focus on atmospherically informing the imaginative mind. "A visual treat, full of vibrant scenes of an oasis in the Sahara." "A winning choice for the classroom or the library." Frances Lincoln, 2005 |
