Ruby

Ruby's patchwork quilt is more than a source of security and warmth. One night when Ruby rescues it from the clothesline, she discovers it flies, just like a magic carpet. She rides it to an island where she saves some animals from a vicious serpent and wins the gratitude and hospitality of one and all. This fanciful flight is standard entertainment, but Lester's illustrations are a treat. Try it as a mild introduction to Where the Wild Things Are.Lester, Alison is the author of 'Ruby' with ISBN 9780395464779 and ISBN 0395464773.
