Books for young readers — Cry to

Eleven-year-old David is excited when his father, a
captain in the British navy, decides to take him along
on a surveying expedition up the west coast of North
America. a

by Andrea Deakin
Terrace Book Reviewer

His pleasure is diminished by his father’s curt and
businesslike attitude to him once aboard ship, by the

| Jboredom of the voyage, homesickness, but, above

all, by discomfort at the negative attitude of some of
the crew.

The “Langley” anchors in an inlet and David
makes friends with a seal Pup, swimming with it and
teaching it tricks.

One day, as he is swimming at a distance from the
boat, David is kidnapped by some Indians. The
shaman regards him as a spirit child, worthy of
respect, because of his coloring and his close friend-
ship with the seal. The chief wants him as a slave.
David’s situation becomes even more hazardous
when he realizes that the chief’s son is jealous of him.

T.H. Smith has written an exciting historical
adventure with an engaging young hero. There is a
solid reality to his descriptions of life aboard ship
and in the Indian village, a reality which adds
substance and credibility to a strong story. ‘‘Cry to
the Night Wind”’ is published by Viking Kestrel.

Perhaps one of the most enchanting of stories
from the Arabian Nights is that of the horse that can
fly. Sally Scott has retold the tale in “The Magic
Horse’’ (Greenwillow/ Gage).

Long, long ago in Persia a wizard brought before
the king a magnificent life-size horse carved of ebony
and inlaid with gold and jewels. Whoever mounted
the horse could travel wherever he wanted in no time
at all. The enthralled king offered to pay the wizard
any price he demanded, but the price was the hand of
the king’s beautiful daughter. In desperation the
young princess turned to her brother for help. Thus
begins the story of the flying horse, a story simply,
yet effectively told and beautifully illustrated with
richly-hued paintings, reminiscent of the glowing col-
ors of Persian miniatures.

Japanese author/ illustrator Taro Gomi has

designed'a bright discovery picture book in ‘Where’ S$.

the Fish? (Morrow/ Gage). A small pink fish jumps
from the fish bowl to begin a game of hide and seek,
blending with the pink dots of the curtains, the pink
flowers in the pot, but each time his hiding place
leads him nearer and nearer his goal, the fish pond in.
the garden and all the other fish — home. The
brilliant clear colors and simple design, packed with
recognizable objects, makes this an outstanding pic-
ture book for the youngest child.

‘‘Season’s Songs’? (Faber/ Penguin), a collection
of poems considered among Ted Hughes finest work,
was first published in 1976 but has now been re-issued
with the addition of seven new poems in paperback
by Penguin. Here is nature newly presented with
vivid minted imagery and hint of reminiscence in
half-heard ballad and nursery rhyme.

‘‘April Birthday”, ‘And aconite and primrose are
unsticking the wrappers/ Of the package that has
come today for you’; or ‘‘Harvest Moon’? visualized
in a child’s terms, ‘‘The flame-red moon, the harvest

the Night Wind

moon,/ Rolls along the hills, gently bouncing,/ A
vast balloon.

The imagery is ‘now’ but it is gently interwoven with
‘then’, a new way to look at places, people, animals and
weather. This is a collection to delight parent and child

ike.
