This is a bright, bold storybook, which can be read to children from 12 months upwards. Although they may not really understand the story, they will soon learn the imporant association between the marks on the pages and the words you say because of the distinctive 'ROOAARRR!' pages. My daughter loves the way I make each roar get louder and longer - I holde the last one until I run out of breath!
The artwork is colourful, and on the whole realistic, although Clovis himself is a bit on the cute side. There's lots of nice details which you can point out to a child, especially the places where Clovis is hiding. Fun.
