Reviews

[Ella · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great early readers book for children to read themselves or to an adult. There is lots of repetition in the book which should increase children confidence with reading he story. The book is also likely to be quite funny for children making them more motivated and engaged when reading. This story would not be limited to older or younger primary school children and could be read and enjoyed by any children based on their reading stage instead of age. There are lots of opportunities for questions and predictions to be made from either the pictures of the words.
