It kept me interested in it the entire time. This book was very suspenseful and constantly made me want to know what was going to happen next. I like how Hippolyte was careful and watched out for Clement and Pauline. This book is an easy read. Some of the pages may be a little confusing, however if you carefully read through it and pay attention, it is a very good book! l am captivated by Pinkney's impressive scratchboard-and-oil artwork, and felt it provided a beautiful contrast between the light and dark elements of the pictures and the contrast in the story. I've heard similar tales to this one, likely from before it made its way to the West Indies, so I enjoyed this version very much. Especially alongside the illustrations. The supernatural flavor of the story is also appealing to me, and would have as a younger child as well. It is a little too long for a story time, but perhaps might be helpful with a curriculum on fairy tales/ folklore and tales around the world. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Her Uncle Monsieur Zabocat is a wizard. Understanding the bond of the two friends, the uncle lures Clement's friend Hippolyte in a trap forcing him to choose between his own safety and that of his friend. Turned to stone, Hippolyte made this sacrifice for his beloved friend.
In the end, he is freed from the curse because of his love of his friend.
While the illustrations are unique, I didn't like the story line. There were too many twists and turns and much darkness. ( )
