Books for Keeps
Written with gentle humour and much warmth, this is infused with love for tiny people … a lovely bedtime book
BookTrust
A gorgeous celebration of families and an introduction to the body for very little children… The illustrations are something special too, expressive faces catching our attention, bold blocks of colour, making everything zing, the families depicted of every type and make up. What a way to teach children the names of their body parts, and to demonstrate family love
