Under The Great Plum Tree by Sufiya Ahmed and Reza Dalvand, reviewed by Pippa Goodhart
This is a story of a kind monkey, gold-hearted, Miss Bandari, who is feeds plums from her tree to a tired and hungry old crocodile, Mr Magarmach.
The silly old crocodile is a show-off, telling stories of brave deeds done in the past. Then he offers to take Miss Bandari for lunch in the swamp ... where King Crocodile awaits, and is hungry. But clever elephant Dame Hati saves both Miss Bandari and her friendship with silly old Mr Magarmach.
This handsome hardback book is full of beauty. Reza Dalvand's pictures could be a starting point for wonderful child artwork, maybe dressing animal story characters, maybe making their setting beautiful, maybe creating the fiercest crocodile.
And the story would be a good starting point to discussion about the different qualities that different characters bring to a friendship group. A story that could make for an excellent assembly, either told from the book or acted out by children.

That looks an interestingly illustrated book, Pippa!
I do like your suggestions about how the story and the pictures could be used when working with children. At school, or at home, I suppose. :-)

I have never seen a miracle like this in my entire life.
My husband left me and my 5 year old boy for over 9 months,
I was so traumatized and frustrated, because of the love I have for my husband I seeked for help from different places to bring him back to me but there was no difference. Until my mother introduced me to ( DR DAWN) this doctor promised me that my husband will come back to me in 48 hours after I explained everything to him, and to my greatest surprise my husband called me after 48 hours and was begging me to forgive him that he will never leave me again, all thanks to Dr DAWN because for over 3 year's now I have been happy with my husband and he treats me like a queen,
Contact DR DAWN, if you have any kind of problem.
