What I’m Reading at the Moment

‘Toby Alone’

by Timothy de Fombelle (Age 8+)

Toby Lolness is just one and a half millimetres tall, and he’s the most wanted person in his world, the great oak tree. An adventure of heroism, friendship and survival- with a powerful ecological message- set in a miniature world.

I’m really enjoying the world that Timothy de Fombelle has created in this book- it conjures up vivid images and you can clearly imagine everything he describes even though it’s from such a tiny persons point of view. Another great story for classroom discussions about the environment, different class systems/societies etc.
