Taking the Long Way Home

Author: Jake HopeIllustrator: Brian Fitzgerald

When Zarah and her brother are collected from school by Uncle Jerome, he conjures up a world of magical make-believe on the way home. Pterodactyls swoop, crocodiles clack and a big cat creeps through the long grass. Exuberant illustrations and lively text make this an excellent story to read aloud.
