Rosie’s Magic Horse by Russell Hoban and Quentin Blake
What a combination – Russell Hoban and Quentin Blake! Playsmiths together. A tale full of subtlety. Parents worried about bills, Rosie picking up lolly sticks to keep in her old cigar box. Things are tight. But imagination is not; it’s very free. Words and pictures riot across the pages. Lollysticks turn into Stickerino the magnificent horse. And fearless Rosie brings home a chest full of gold – and a kiss for Dad. Maybe things aren’t so bad after all.
