Walker Books, hardback, £10.99
An epic journey begins when a young boy rescues a falling baby by catching her in his hat. He uses his reward money to sail off round the world, making his fortune along the way. When he returns home, he finds that the baby has grown up into a beautiful woman. They fall in love, marry, and have a baby of their own (who on the last page is seen falling through the air and about to be caught in a hat!)
'It's true!' insists the narrator. A likely story? A real-life fairy tale? Ask the children.
- The Story Blanket by Ferida Wolff and Harriet may Savitz, illustrated by Elena Odriozola
