Description:
"It is a fact of nature that when the weather gets very cold and the snow begins to fall, a
stoat turns white. 'Slim' is the story of a stoat that turns white too soon. Poor Slim has
terrible problems because of this. His problems are the problems of nature – the same
problems that every child has to face at one time or another – of being too conspicuous,
of being hungry or being unpopular.
'Slim' is a true life nature story but it is gripping and exciting throughout. Children adore
him and whether they know it or not they're learning a lot about nature and increasing their
vocabulary at the same time."
Illustrated throughout double spread colour paintings. Glazed pictorial boards. Negligible crease extending from edge on rear board. Spine slightly bumped; corners are straight. Pages are lightly creased from handling, and one has a negligible grubby mark. Otherwise all are clean, bright, and – thanks to the fact they are printed on glossy paper – free from foxing and tanning. Measures 11″ × 8.5″ (27.5 cm × 21.5 cm). Oversize 4to.
