AS THE MOTHER OF AN 8 YEAR OLD CHILD WITH MODERATE LEARNING DIFFICULTIES, THIS BOOK IS BRILLIANT. BRIGHT COLOURFUL PICTURES ENCOURAGES CHILDREN TO EXPLORE THE PICTURE AND GIVES EASY CLUES TO CERTAIN WORDS WITHIN THE TEXT.NICE,LARGE PRINT FOR CHILDREN WHO HAVE DIFFICULTY READING AND SENTENCES REPEAT THROUGH OUT THE STORY, ENCOURAGING THE CHILD TO REMEMBER THE WORDS, MY SON DOES NOT YET HAVE A READING AGE BUT WITHIN 5 WEEKS OF READING THIS BOOK AT BEDTIMES, HE CAN NOW REMEMBER COMPLETE SENTENCES. HE LOVES THIS BOOK AND ALWAYS ASKS FOR IT, I WOULD RECOMMENDED THIS BOOK TO ANY MOTHER WHOSE CHILD IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH READING. THIS AUTHOR KNOWS WHAT CHILDREN WANT TO SEE AND READ, I CAN NOT WAIT FOR MORE AND NEITHER CAN MY SON.

Fantastic
My little boy loves this book. He reads along with us all the time especially when he can make the sounds of the vehicles.
The pictures keep him intereseted too, giving him many things to point out as we read along.
This book is great from the ages of 20months right up to teaching your children to read.

I hate this book!
However, my 3 year old loves it! It is the most annoying book in the world to read, and I regularly hide it, to no avail, it always gets found.

The pictures are great, big, bright and colourful, but the words and rhymes are so dull, and nonsensical, amd a real bore to read.
