Children's Book review

The Great Paper Caper

By Oliver Jeffers

Published by HarperCollins Children's Books

Once upon a time in a forest, many creatures lived happily alongside one another, and in harmony with nature, until one day something very strange started to happen.

Branches began to disappear from the trees and despite careful and thorough investigation, no one could work out what was going on, until an eye-witness spotted a crucial piece of evidence.

In this curious and unusual picture book, the forest dwellers team up to discover who is threatening their environment but when the culprit is apprehended they generously offer their support in helping him solve a difficult problem.

An intelligent and entertaining picture book, with a narrative driven by unique and fascinating illustrations.It carries a topical ecological message and includes added extras such as full instructions for making aerodynamic paper aeroplanes.
