Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge 30th Anniversary Edition Paperback – Picture Book, 1 August 2014

4.8 out of 5 stars 55 ratings

Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge was a second collaboration for Mem Fox and Julie Vivas, the author and illustrator of Possum Magic.

First published in 1984, it was similarly an instant success, later translated into several languages and published in the US and the UK. Its classic themes and beautiful artwork have also seen it adapted to the stage as a play for children, but its enduring appeal is in the simple words of a story thoughtfully told, illustrated with humour and understanding.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This read is a great tool (without kids realizing it) for even tiny youth to understand elders.

    This is in my top 5 favored children’s books. If you buy it, you cannot deny its greatness. Life lessons written for youngest of minds couples with excellent illustration. Youth understanding elders and figuring ways to help when their memory fails.

    This is a fantastic book! It is great for kids because they can connect with the book through their times they spend with older adults. I connected with it because it made me think of some of my memories.

    This is a most wonderful book. Great for kids of all ages but probably better understood by the older generation. The art work is fantastic!
