Really funny book! I'm seven, and my sister Jade, who's 21, teaches kindergarten out in Beijing as a teacher. She teaches the little Chinese kids English. When she took a trip out on a train for 24 hours to see me and my family in Hong Kong. first steps into the door, poor thing! She cried! Then we went to the train station a couple of days after she arrived, and took a 2 hour train ride to Guangzhou. When we arrived at our apartment, we looked in the flight bags. Jade wasn't staying with us for long so in her bag was some presents for me, clothes, and some other types of bits and bobs. In my flight bag was a load of fun stuff my mummy had packed! Pens, doodle pads, crayons, pencils, clothes, games, my tablet, letters, so much more! Oh, and I forgot to tell you, I've also got a little sister Alice who's 1 and walks in the most funniest places! And then, better, I got to open hers! (I opened them in Hong Kong actually!) so here's the bit:



NOSEY NORMAN!
I got the Nosey Norman book out of Alice's bag and showed Jade.
Jade said it would be good to teach her students English.
I haven't lent it to Jay yet.

Funny kids book that encourages audience participation - my 5 month old son loved grabbing at Norman's nose!
