Summary: Wonderful bed time reading for children
Comment: Ted Hughes has written ten wonderful short stories about the early world, when God meticulously (or not so meticulously) fashioned all the animals out of clay. Each tale is a richly worded adventure, as God, his mother, Man, Woman, and their children live in the early days. Learn how the birds were created, how the Peacock got is wonderful plumage, and what sometimes happens to the leftovers from God's workshop when a tiny bit of thundercloud gets mixed in. The book has great illustrations by A. Davidson, but make no mistake, this is a book to be read to someone, one story at a time. Hughes' language takes listeners on a verbal safari with great nonesense words and sounds. Its a book for all ages, even adults, but I would think that children between 4-6 would love the whimsical logic behind the creation of each animal the most
