I learn how hard it is to live in the cold it's harder than living in the hot weather because most animals live in the hot weather so it's hard to get food. so i learn it's hard to live in the winter.
It's been years since I read any Redwall, and this sort of made me want to pick one up again. This book might be a good intro to determine if someone wanted to try a full novel, considering it has most of the main elements: feasts, extensive and varied animal dialects, and a bit of a folklore element.
This is a precious book that will appeal to lifelong fans of Brian Jacques' Redwall series as well as those who are just discovering it. bedtime The mix of prose and poetry works well together, and the illustrations are marvelous. It's a great story to read at bedtime to make you feel all comfy and cozy and ready for sleep.
Not religious, just a celebration of winter. A charming intro to Redwall, with lots of illustration and a warm and fuzzy story suitable for younger readers than the Redwall series. Among other events, little animals are told the myth of the Snow Badger to put them to sleep, but one little guy waits up to see if he might be real.... Belief is rewarded.
In this second collaboration, Brian Jacques and Christopher Denise continue to give us another short story that happens between the Redwall and the Mattimeo novel.
Once again, Brian Jacques writes another great story where he combines both prose and rhymes to tell us how the last day of autumn and the first day of winter occured at the abbey of Redwall. This involves both a great troop of circus entertainers and a mysterious spirit that comes every winter in the Mossflower land. As in his Great Redwall feast, Jacques offers us another riddle, just as brillantly done and as entertaining to solve.
As for Christopher Denise, his soft pastels illustrations are more gorgeous than ever, and his characters designs just connect well with the Redwall universe. So much that one wish that he continued to work in the rest of the Redwall series, or even interpret certsain scenes of the series in a huge compilation of soft pastels illustrations of Brian Jacques' stories.
To conclude, it is another great piece that enriches the Redwall universe and the culture of its characters.
