Little Hotchpotch - Brian Patten

Age-range: 3+ 'One day a shy little creature looked at its reflection in a frozen pond. All it could see were its eyes. They were as big and bright as the moon...' But the little creature doesn't know who it is! And so starts an odyssey of a quest, from snowy icebergs to the dry savannah, from the polar bear to the little harvest mouse, as the little creature asks, 'Who am I?' But nobody knows - until the wise old owl is asked; he knows the answer, and the clue is in the title! A beautifully lyrical text from acclaimed poet Brian Patten is combined here with illustrations from best-loved animal artist Michael Terry.
