Cottonwool Colin

Product Information

Multi-award-winning Tony Ross has become one of the best-known creators of original and traditional picture books and his work has been published all over the world. In fact, if she had just treated him like the rest of his siblings he would have had his life threatened significantly less often. His mom is overprotective, finally allowing him outside, only if he is completely protected in a wrapping of cotton. Cottonball Colin comes to you directly from the loony team of Brits responsible for such books as Misery Moo and the infamous Tadpole's Promise.

I think this book would be a more approprete for 3rd and 4th graders due to the concept of the book about the mouse growing up and being able to go out and faceing to the big wide world.His mother refuses to let him play outside with his brothers and sisters unless he is wrapped in a big fluffy ball of cotton wool. Due to his size his mother did not like him adventuring out in case he got hurt, until they came up with a plan and wrapped him all up with cotton wool, so not to get hurt. Go through the shelves of your local library and you'll eventually find some didactic tract (nine times out of ten written by a celebrity) that is trying to teach kids this lesson or that lesson with varying degrees of success. Tony Ross is one of the UK's top children's book illustrators, whose books are published all over the world.

Jeanne has also worked on scripts for TV, including Polly Pocket and The Slow Norris, and a pilot TV series for Dr Xargle.

Colin is so overprotected by his mother that this very protection is what actually causes him the most harm by the end of the story. Worried that he isn't as tough as the others, Colin's mother overprotects and babies the little mouse, preventing him from ever involving himself in what she might deem a "dangerous" situation.

Come down the travelators, exit Sainsbury's, turn right and follow the pedestrianised walkway to Crown Walk and turn right - and Coles will be right in front of you.
