The Minpins taps into the powerful, wonderful child's fantasy of discovering a hidden civilization of tiny folk that accepts and honors him or her. The very best part of this fairy tale is the denouement, where Billy receives the gift of nightly escape on the wings of a swan. One of Roald Dahl's only picture books--with fabulously crosshatched pen-and-ink illustrations by Patrick Benson--The Minpins is superb for reading aloud to the three- to eight-year-old set. And it culminates in a sentence or two of advice that your children just might remember for the rest of their lives. (Ages 3 to 8)

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. From the bestselling author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Matilda! Billy's mum says he must never go out through the garden gate and explore the dark forest beyond. So, one day, he does exactly that! There Billy meets the amazing Minpins, tiny people who live inside the hollow trees.But the Minpins are in danger. The terrible, galloping Gruncher stalks the forest, and the Minpins are disappearing in their thousands. Can Billy find a way to destroy the hungry beast, once and for all--or will it gobble him up too? Terrible monsters lurk in the forest, but if you climb up into the trees you may be lucky and meet some of the thousands of tiny Minpins who live there, too. The hollow trees are filled with their miniature homes--and they travel around the country on the backs of birds! "Vintage Dahl for reading aloud."--"Booklist." Full color.
