Items related to The Lying Carpet
From the author of the acclaimed Halibut Jackson comes a mold-breaking philosophical fairy tale for all ages. Part graphic novel, it is bound in cloth with foil stamping—an extraordinary gift book to treasure Imagine a disused living room in a grand house. In it is a tiger rug and a statue of a little girl. But is the tiger a real tiger, a fake, or a magical carpet? Is the little girl real but bewitched, or just a stone statue, and will she ever come to life? By turns comical and lugubrious, the tiger gives the little girl plenty of versions of the truth, but how will she decide what is true and will she be able to break free? A parable about outgrowing childhood and becoming what you want to be, this is a book for anyone who has ever felt "stuck" in their circumstances.

From AudioFile:
This clever parable is bursting with wordplay that will affect each listener differently, depending upon his or her age, perception, and experience. Narrator Nicholas Bell expertly re-creates Faith, a little girl. Or is she a statue? Is the tiger who discusses making choices with her a lying carpet or a flying carpet? The tiger attempts to advise her by giving her many versions of the truth. Is the tiger that is also a carpet real, fake, or magical? Bell splendidly captures these two very different personalities, the decisions they must make, and how they can help each other. This short piece is ideal for generating discussion about choices with youngsters. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
