Tried and true story C. M. This is a tried and true story; and is a great read aloud to children in the early primary grades. I consider it to be an enduring story akin to a modern day fairy tale, and have enjoyed it for many years. This book was purchased for our three-year-old granddaughter in England. We wondered if she was a little. Five Stars Thomas Murray Another charmer from Steig featuring a wonderful, imaginative and, above all, brave protagonist.. Linda S. Moyer said Excellent author. William Steig is a great author. We bought book because of our grand-daughter, Irene.
Her mother, Mrs. Bobbin, isn't feeling so well and can't possibly deliver the beautiful ball gown she's made for the duchess to wear that very evening. She must defy the wiles of the wicked wind, her most formidable opponent, and overcome many obstacles before she completes her mission. So plucky Irene volunteers to get the gown to the palace on time, in spite of the fierce snowstorm that's brewing-- quite an errand for a little girl.But where there's a will, there's a way, as Irene proves in the danger-fraught adventure that follows. Brave Irene is Irene Bobbin, the dressmaker's daughter. Surely, this winning heroine will inspire every child to cheer her on.Brave Irene is a 1986 New York Times Book Review Best Illustrated Book of the Year.
