First published in 1910, this is the story of a runaway go-cart and the mishaps it creates as it careens through the pages of this slanty book.
How often have you heard the expression, "They don't make them like they used to"? This is a children's book that brings back the humour, illustrations and fun of a bygone era -- the type of book your grandparents used to read when they were children.
'The Slant Book' was first published in 1910 and was written and illustrated by American artist, Peter Newell. It follows the adventure of a runaway go-cart (a pram) containing a baby. The actual slanted pages of the book contribute to the illusion of a hill, down which the cart is accidentally set adrift. The story is told in amusing, rhyming prose.
