Voices in the Park by Anthony Browne (English) Paperback Book

Description: Voices in the Park by Anthony Browne The four seasons in a city park are represented by apes in human clothing: a rich, uptight woman in the fall; a sad, unemployed man in the winter; the womans lonely boy in the spring; the mans joyful daughter in the summer. Each one sees the place and the others differently, yet together the voices tell a story. Full-color illustrations. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Different characters tell the same story from their own perspectives in this timeless childrens story book, which explores the themes of alienation, friendship, and the bizarre amid the mundane. I called his name . . . I settled on a bench . . . I was amazed . . . I felt really, really happy . . . Four people enter a park, and through their eyes we see four different visions. Theres the bossy woman, the sad man, the lonely boy, and the young girl whose warmth touches those she meets. As the story moves from one voice to another, their perspectives are reflected in the shifting landscape and seasons. This is an intriguing, multi-layered, enormously entertaining book that demands to be read again and again. A Family Life Critics Choice Award winner, Voices in the Park uses radically different perspectives to give fascinating depth to an otherwise simple story.
