Representaion To Books Little Manfred

The heart-lifting, heartbreaking new story by Michael Morpurgo, the nation's favourite storyteller. In the Imperial War Museum is a wooden Dachshund, carved by a German prisoner of war for the children of the British family with which he stayed after the fighting ended. This is the story of how it got there! When the Bismarck sinks, one of the only German survivors is taken on board a British ship as a prisoner of war. Sent to live with a host family, Walter must adapt to a new way of life, in the heart of an enemy country. Gradually, though, he finds a friend in ten-year-old Grace. So when the time finally comes to go back to Germany, it's an emotional parting, with Walter leaving Grace with only a carved wooden dog to remember him by. The question is, will Walter and Grace ever meet again? In 1966, with the World Cup coming to Britain, that opportunity may just have come along!

Little Manfred by Michael Morpurgo, illustrated by Michael Foreman Historical Fiction, 3rd grade and up not for the sensitive ones though, many war scenes throughout. I can thank my beautiful friend Tanja for bringing this book to me as a gift recentlymany friends are a little wary of purchasing a book for me because they never know if Ive read it before so I was excited, as was she, at a book I hadnt read by Michael Morpurgo. Did you know there is a Michael Morpurgo month celebration in

Little Manfred is a short childrens book about a German P.O.W. who is interned in England and who stays for a few years after the war to work on a farm. (This was not a choice, but a part of his punishment before being repatriated.) Many years later he returns to England to try to bring closure to his experience.To avoid spoilers, I will only say that Morpurgo has written a gem of a book, conveying the conflicting feelings of men in war (but in manner thats not too overwhelming for children). It

Another book by Morpurgo covering yet another view of the second world war. This time its german prisoners of war working for and then befriending a farmer and his family. The prisoners built a little wooden toy dog for the young girl who named it after one of them. Then in 1966 one of these germans return with british sailor who had saved his life when he was originally captured and then had conveniently run into each other 6 years later on a train station as the german was being repatriated

The only fly in the ointment for me was that it wasn't quite accurate in a historical sense but it was in all a very good story, however unbelievable.

Rating: 3.5 / 5

I'm a huge fan of Morpurgo's and when I saw this new for $5 I snapped it up! One of the things I really love about Morpurgo is that while he mainly concentrates on English history, he doesn't exclude other participants in that history - this story for example centers on 2 German prisoners of war.

I really enjoyed this. Little Manfred is a touching tale of friendship, war and a wooden toy dog.
