Format:Paperback
Mrs Wobble the waitress is a fantastic book especially great for little children. It is written by allan ahlberg and is illustrated by janet ahlberg. It is a very funny book which explains about a family who set up a restaurent. The pictures are all very detailed and some of them have speech bubbles with people saying things. One of the pictures even shows their menu. The actual story is very well written and uses easy, understandle language. It is a perfect book to read to your children because it is reasonably short and every page has a picture on it. The book is also good for children learning to read because it uses basic words. Mrs Wobble the waitress is just one of a wide range of happy families books, all written by allan alhberg. In my opinion this is the best and most brilliantly illustrated one of them all. I would definately say that anyone with kids up to the ages of 7 should have this book. A gret buy.
