Items related to The Heron And the Crane (Picture Puffin S.)
A heron and a crane live at opposite ends of a swamp and when the crane decides to get married he approaches the heron. The heron turns him down because of his knobbly knees and because she thinks he won't provide her with enough food. The crane returns to his nest feeling rejected and soon the heron feels guilty and visits his nest to accept the proposal. The crane turns her down but later feels miserable and decides to offer the heron a frog and another proposal - this time the heron's pride is hurt so she rejects him again! The birds go backwards and forwards proposing and being rejected and are probably doing so still!

"A charming new book aimed at young children featuring the world famously brilliant illustrations of Quentin Blake." (Bury Free Press)
"John Yeoman and Quentin Blake are names on a book to guarantee something extra special and The Heron and the Crane is just that." (The School Librarian)
