Review: A fun rhyming book for children - I love Julia Donaldson’s books for children. This was the first one I picked up for my little brother and all of Julia Donaldson’s books have become firm favourites at bedtime - he also loves to read them alone and has built up quite the collection now! As always the story is fun but still provides a lovely moral at its heart. The illustrations are wonderful and really add to the story. The writing is simple enough for children to be able to read alone but not overly simplistic, so it still provides a little challenge to improve on literacy. As with all Julia Donaldson books, there’s a lot of rhyming and quotes that will become very memorable to you, I find my little brother loves to recite some of them to us!
