Format:Paperback
In this story the little boy's mother likes everything spotty and his father likes everything stripy. The text is pretty minimal - though entertaining - with just one or two simple sentences per page serving to introduce the marvellous, colourful illustrations. These allow for lots of parent-child interaction and provide a great way of learning about patterns and colours. Another benefit of the book is that it shows young children that people can like different things and still be happy.

This book is highly amusing (Mum only likes spots and Dad only stripes). It is a good book to share with a group of young children. They can point out all the patterns and look at patterns in the imediate environment. I have used it before with 3 and 4 year olds in a nursery and we made a patterns display and did many activities on patterns.

This book has stood the test of four children and is still a favourite in the house. The simplest concept brought alive by tons of fun illustrations which just beg to be discussed and giggled over at every reading. No plot, no messages, no preachy stuff, just a lovely idea based around spots and stripes. If only all our lives were that simple ... Magic!
