Product Description
She dreams of Sable Island She goes there in her sleep The fog comes softly to her and she drifts across the deep. Nova Scotia–based paper-doll artist Briana Corr Scott's first children's picture book explores the wilds of the childhood imagination and of the shape-shifting Sable Island. Written as a gentle, lyrical poem, She Dreams of Sable Island is a wonderful read-aloud for bedtime, and a fact-filled exploration for curious readers who dream of adventuring to one of Nova Scotia's most remarkable―and untouched―landscapes. Includes an illustrated map of Sable Island, descriptions of flora and fauna found on the island, a paper doll and accessories―even a Sable Island horse!
Customer Reviews
The watercolor art is pretty, but the images, too, are not memorable. This is one book that, when a child cuts it up for the paper doll, I would not particularly flinch - although there would be no "cutting up of the book" because the paper doll and clothes are not actually part of the book, being 4 unbound pages of stiff card-board inserted in the book which, in my opinion, isn't a bad choice in book design. Some (but not all) of the clothing is more "arty" than representative of children's clothing. The best part of the book are the 4 pages talking about the real Sable Island in Canada. Your mileage may vary, but my opinion is that this might be better as a less-expensive softbound book, even if you had to bind the paper doll into it.
