excerpt: As if by magic, the bright, striped tents and the merry-go-ground spring up in the empty field. ![]() The brilliantly coloured illustrations are painted by Gilles Pelletier. His naive art enhances Lunn's story by providing wonderful details against a richly coloured setting which brings the autumn fair's imagery to life. The inclusion of a mouse hidden in each picture draws the younger reader in for a closer examination of each illustration. Come to the Fair invites parents and teachers of young children to share in the reading and discussion of a special country event. With the easy-to-read text, young readers will be able to enjoy the story themselves. Recommended. Janice Foster is an Early Years ELA Coordinator in Fort Garry School Division, Winnipeg, MB.
