Book Overview
Hold on to your hat! Tommy was a piper's son, He learned to pipe when he was young; The only song that he could play Was over the hills and far away. Over the hills and a long way off The wind shall blow my top hat off. Come join the fun as Tom, an otter pup, sets out on a merry journey through the various seasons, enchanting young and old alike with his exuberant piping. Among his charmed listeners are raccoons, rabbits, pigs, and a well-dressed snail -- but the most charmed of all is Molly, who accepts his hand in marriage. In reimagining this traditional folk song, Chris Conover once again proves her incredible skill, which was touted by School Library Journal: "No one portrays animals in a more charming and expressive way than Conover." For the musically inclined, music for piano and guitar is in the back of the book.

Chris Conover has done it again and continues to give us outstanding children's books! This book will make a wonderful gift for the children on your list who love to see all the little critters in Conover's artwork...the story is enjoyable and an easy read for the adult too! In this day of the cardboard book, I appreciate this fine work of art and enjoy sharing Conover's work with all of my grandchildren.

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Tom, an otter pop, learns how to pipe a single song and enchants everyone he meets in Over The Hills And Far Away. Nobody can resist dancing to his cheery bagpipe tunes, and nobody will resist Chris Conover's lovely drawings in this remake of a traditional nursery story, brought vividly and entertainingly to life in rollicking rhyme and total fun.
