Book Reviews of Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge (Public Television Storytime Books)

Book Review: Meeting and giving across the generations
Summary: 5 Stars

Wilfred Gordon Macdonald Partridge ( age not very old) lives next door to old people's home. His visits enable him to share in the likelable quirks of the residents and he develops a particular fondness for Miss Nancy who is a tad dotty and has lost her memory. Therein ensues Wilfred's search for the meaning of memory. Asking the other residents, Wilfred is provided with an array of answers that illustrate the diversity and richness of human life and what is important to people. Owing to his tender years, Wilfred searches out concrete examples of the qualities people have described, warmth, humour, preciousness which he eagerly presents to Miss Nancy to replace her lost memory and low and behold, the objects young Wilfred has collected prompt Miss Nancy to remember things from her own childhood. A story about not giving up, sharing and how the simple things in life can sometimes make all the difference
