Format:Paperback
My son (3) and I really enjoy all the books written by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, but this one is our favourite (well actually joint favourite with the Gruffalo and Room on the Broom).
As usual there is a fantastic rhythm to the story - it is a positive joy to read the book aload.
The illustrations are particularly good (and adult readers will enjoy the jokes included in the background).

Format:Paperback
My two year old son adores this. It's an absolute favourite, along with Bear Hunt, A Squash and a Squeeze and the 'Snore' book! It's a wonderfully rhythmical story and if you don't mind doing silly voices and making up tunes it's perfect for reading at bedtime. As with all the above mentioned books, I often catch him reciting passages to himself..., "My tie is a scarf for a cold giraffe" etc. We have a wonderful children's bookshop near us and they recommended this book. At first I thought he might be too young, but they were absolutely right

Format:Paperback
I was worried that my two year old would not understand this book as some of the words were beyond his understanding. I worried for no reason. My son absolutely loves this book and requests it every night without fail! The storyline is simple, nice and encourages sharing and friendliness (all the things that you want your children to learn). The illustrations are excellent and have so much going on in the background as well.
This book is a must have for all parents that enjoy reading bedtime stories as much as their children enjoy listening to them.

Love this book
I have read the book to my baby a few times. He is too young to be into books properly but nice to read anyway. Love reading the book and it flows well.

Wonderful book
Another great story from these authors. Our boys both love all their books. The illustrations are wonderful, and the rhyming stories encourages them to join in.
