Mahy, Margaret and Illustrated by Dunbar,
Polly The Man from the land of Fandango 32 pgs. Clarion Books, 2012. $15.29. (Rating: G)
Every 500 years
the man from Fandago comes calling to the homes of children. He takes them on
an all-night adventure that includes sweets and dancing animals that “tingle
and tongle and tangle”.
I didn't get
this book. Maybe I have been conducting too many internet safety lessons lately
–but this book just screams stranger danger. It wasn't very lyrical and the artwork
was so-so. While the animals and the color scheme were really cute –the people were
oddly unappealing. Not one for my library.
