Elisabeth Beresford's children are often indignant and impulsive, just sufficiently so to stir up similar feelings in her readers. Paul and Rosa, fighting for animals and birds caught in oil slicks are no exception. If anything, some testers felt disappointment that the tales of rescue didn't go on and on. Short, efficient sentences, simple, meaningful vocabulary make all Elisabeth Beresford's books accessible to competent readers in the eight plus range This one is no exception.
