Marooned in Fraggle Rock

This is a storybook version of the episode of Fraggle Rock called "Marooned." It is very intelligently written, with far more words than pictures. The illustrations are beautifully done, and the story is touching. The intelligent narration augments rather than detracts from the original TV script. Very young kids would probably be daunted by the lengthy text, but any Fraggle lover aged nine or ten and older (even adults who grew up with the Fraggles) will love this book. The story deals with the idea of our own mortality in a wonderful way, getting just serious enough to get its point across without seeming saccharine or avoiding using the word "death." Five stars!
