Big George tells the story of England's very first visitor from outer space in the Year of Our Lord 1103. Illustrated by Colin Paine, this delightful book combines sprightly storytelling with simple artwork that perfectly captures the world through the eyes of an innocent visitor. Author Eric Pringle brings a delightfully "folky" feel to a story of a big friendly giant and his encounters with the earthlings who are all-too willing to attack anything they don't really understand, proving that some things just never change. Perfect for newly confident readers who are looking for a challenging read, this gentle, funny, observant story is a delight. (Age 7 and over.) --Susan Harrison
