Kindergarten-grade 6 / Ages 5-11 Reviewed by Katy Campbell-Bonar. Volume 20 Number 4 1992 September This re-telling of a favourite poem is accompanied by "camera-animated video" resembling Inuit silkscreens. The reading by Max Ferguson is spooky and emotional; the illustrations are bright, varied, and perfectly representative of the content and mood of the poem. The length, given the lack of full animation, is appropriate. An excellent advance organizer for a creative writing exercise.
