The Goblin and the Empty Chair by Mem Fox

4.0

Beautiful, unique fairy-tale-like story of a goblin who hates himself because of his ugly face, but reaches out anonymously to help a grieving family.
Leo and Diane Dillon's illustrations are marvelously drawn and colored as always, and fit the fairy-tale style.
A lovely story to read to mature preschoolers and young elementary-school kids, with several subtly expressed messages.
