5-8 Infant/Junior
An unscrupulous mayor procures Mrs Potter's wonderful apple for his own selfish purposes, but his greed rebounds, and justice is done --- in more ways than one. The comic details of David Higham's illustrations for which he has used slightly muted tones, will draw potential readers but they will not be helped by the lack of cohesion in the style of writing.
