Story of Poppyseed

This is a beautifuly illustrated book. The story is beautiful! A wonderful memorie from my childhood:) The monster turns out to be quite cute. A must read for young children!

"Poppyseed has a magical way of changing the lives of those around her - even the lives of monsters determined to be fierce. Her good will is contagious. Her smile is irresistible. Bright-eyed and sunshiny, she is Poppyseed, and this is her story." The description of the story on the back cover tells it all. The story is about a band of children who found their way to a lonely old woman's home. They would have crossed the river to get to town, but a horrible, scary monster lives in the river. Poppyseed and her band of friends learn lessons about love and making friends. A delightful, fanciful story for children.
