Reviews

Praise for Snore!:
‘Ideal for bedtime entertainment. Langley’s illustrations are delightful and larger than life.’ Guardian ‘From start to finish this book bristles with energy and humour, while the illustrations are just delightful.’ Our Baby ‘This superb book is packed with sounds and fun.’ Mother and Baby Praise for ‘Oww’:
‘Rosen’s use of rhythm and repetition and the cumulative story-style will ensure even the youngest reader can engage with the text. The illustrations are charming and full of fun, each animal expressively drawn.’ Books for Keeps

Another beatifully illustrated book by Michael Rosen. We came across this book after it was read to our Kindergarten Group by the children's librarian. So good was the story , and so re -requested by the children that we had to track it down and purchase it. This really is a fun book. Poor pig gets a prickle problem stuck to his bottom whilst mooching around the farm. Can anyone help? Which animal will solve the prickle problem without more prickle pain? Is it an animal we Kiwi readers and children know much about, or could we learn by finding out more together? Good old fashioned fun about life on the farm and how we can help each other out! A must for pre-schoolers.
