My View:
This is another delightful book from one of my favourite children’s authors and illustrators. Jennifer Cossins once again delivers a children book that is engaging, beautifully illustrated and educational. You are sure to enjoy the time you sit with your pre schooler sharing this beautiful book.
PS Anyone looking for a gift for the many kindy parties your child will be attending, this book is perfect. Be assured that you will be giving a gift of learning and joy; encouraging reading is such valuable habit to inspire and it is a bargain too.
Reading, Writing and Riesling 
Oh, this sounds delightful, Carol! And so many bright, lovely colours, too. A great book for (grand)parents to read with the littlies.
It’s an easy and memorable read for the preschooler Margot – it’s interesting just how much “ information” a child picks up as you read together – so many important messages – and not just from the book.
Oh, no doubt, Carol. I think that’s why so much research supports reading with children. It’s bonding time, it’s a great emotional link, and there are so many cognitive benefits!
So true Margot
