Plotted

Idgie Says:
What a fun book that allows you to take a story that is loved and actually trace the paths the characters took via an imagined map of that story.  

I would love to have this book beside the one I was reading as a "reference guide".  To see just what the home of the rabbits in Watership Down looked like, the distance they traveled to find their way to a hopefully safe place, etc. - that would be a fantastic addition to the story.

The illustrations are fabulous.  This would be a fantastic gift for a book lover.  I love my copy!
