"Simply a very nice book for young children, illustrated well."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Pleasant easy stories with memorable characters that young children can relate to easily. High quality presentation. Colourful illustrations with a very clear kiwi style. The CD adds a real feel for her stories being read by the author but for slightly older children as relating separate sound and pictures can be a bit harder for 2 year olds. All in all a great buy!

I'm giving this along with the DVD for a Christmas gift. I have done something similar and it was a success so I'm hoping for the same reaction ..
