It's pitched at mid to late primary and early secondary age children and is simply, but beautifully written with an economy of style still approachable for the less confident readers yet elegant enough to appeal to the more sophisticated reader. And, as Morpurgo's books always do, it tugs at the heart strings of every reader, whatever their age.
''Beorn to Run'' follows in the honourable tradition of great children's books about animals - from [[''Black Beauty]] '' to [[Charlotte's Web]] to [[Call of the Wild]]. Children have always loved them and they always will.
My thanks to the kind people at Harper Collins for sending the book.
