Great colourful cartoon style illustrations with lots of detail. There's also rhyme throughout the book.

My 4 year old really likes this book, especially the lovely pictures & the illustration of the school at the beginning and back of the book. The story itself is of a rhyme.

My boys really enjoyed this. The pictures really add to the read with so many hidden details we look forward to returning to this when their own reading improves. Warmly recommended.
