    Escape from Cold Ditch

    A streak of darkness and a not entirely happy ending that makes this the type of children's book that will endure and a blend of sadness and humour that readers will love.

    Well I for one tend to like the "not entirely happy" endings, so I am okay with that. Although I guess since it is a children's story I might have to be a little careful or practice some more discretion if I intend to share it with my audience of little ones. Blending sadness and humor is usually a recipe for a good story, though, so I am intrigued by this one.

    This really is stupidly close to Chicken Run. How did the film-makers expect to get away with it?

    It is an interesting little tale, which children may enjoy. Alan Davidson is always worth reading, but this book has been slightly overshadowed by his other titles, Marina in a Green Dress and Allison Allbright. Was this a professional release now self-published off the backlist?

    I loved the movie Chicken Run, and if this book is anything like that, then I know it's really good. The story sounds super interesting and it's one I'm sure my daughter and I will enjoy reading together every night.
