Love your review, Darren! Really want to read this book now. Sounds like it tackles a sensitive subject in a very appropriate way for young children.

I know it's only a child's picture book, but it's still very sad :(

Alison wrote: "Thanks Monserrat! Rhythm, rhyme and repeated refrains are great for young children, as they encourage participation and sound discrimination- the early stages of phonics."

Thanks Alison! I'm actually having a lot of fun reviewing things, so I'm sure I'll keep going

Hi everyone, nice to see you all here!

Here's a review of Coram Boy by Jamila Gavin, which is probably more suitable for the upper years of primary - but I enjoyed it so much I had to review it.
