Truck (Tiny Rockers)
Justine Smith and Barbara
Nascimbeni
Features four busy trucks - two with
touchy-feely surfaces, and two in
which your child can reveal the
truck's cargo, either with a pull-up
mechanism or a flap.
Did we say four? Well, actually the
truck on the cover can also be rocked
from side to side, so officially, there
are five trucks in the book to play
and interact with...
We're not sure what we like best
about the book - its multi-sensory
design or the broad smiles from the
truck drivers!
Like every great book for young
children, the illustrations provide lots
of things to look at, learn and talk
about. Go, truck, go!
Where's That Monkey?
Dan Craig
This is a very clever book. A little
notice on the front cover of the book
says ' you won't believe your eyes
and that is true.
Monkey is somewhere in the book
and it is your child's job to find him.
On the first page, you catch a glimpse
of him through a peep-through hole,
or so your child may think, until you
turn over the page and find it's not
actually monkey, but a very clever
illustration. This happens
throughout.
Finally and satisfyingly though,
monkey is found playing with his
friends happily eating a banana.
Very good book!
Now, it's time for us to get a snack
too! And to follow monkey's
example, we're getting a healthy
one!
