Zoom!

by Trish Cooke, Alex Ayliffe (Illustrations)

They went zzzzooooommm, zigga zigga, yow, yow, yow, wheeeeeeee all day long. And they didn't stop until it was time to go to bed. But then, one day, Hurricane Kieron fell over and hurt his knee. He tried to get back up and run but he couldn't. So Hurricane Kieron had to find something to do that didn't involve rushing around all the time. He took a paintbrush and some paints and made hurricanes on paper instead. And when Rusharound Ria saw how much fun he was having, she decided that maybe she should try sitting still for a while too.

5 yr old's book review.

I liked this book because I also like running around a lot, but I also like painting. Kieran reminds my mummy of me. Reading about the two children rushing about made me feel tired. Bedtime beckons...

Fun book covering the endless energy children have! And how you can turn a negative into a positive
