The Magic Cheese

Fuge, Charles

Orion Publishing Co

When Kate and Ben move to a new house, they are disappointed to find that all the garden contains is a crooked old tree. 'What good's a tree?' asks Ben crossly, for without a pond, how can Kate be a pirate, and with no cave, how can Ben be a caveman? However, the tree has some surprises for the children. As the seasons pass, its changing branches provide the inspiration for Kate and Ben's imaginative games. Under its boughs, the garden becomes the icy North Pole, a dangerous jungle, a swamp filled with nuggets of gold and the garden of a wicked wizard -- and Dad is always at hand to take photos of their fun and games.Eric Houghton's thoughtful book celebrates the triumph of imagination and also shows young children that change, in this case, moving house, is nothing to fear, but can provide an opportunity for new adventures.
