My Review
Brilliantly fun and quirky, it's easy to see why this has become a classic in Australia! Happily, it's now available in the UK too. It really makes me smile - it has that combination of simplicity of concept and humour that feature in the best books for toddlers. While it won't introduce children to the differences of Australia's geography or culture, it will definitely teach them one thing we have in common - a lot of sheep! It's a really fun read aloud, and one that children will quickly grasp and join in with.
Heads Up!
Mem Fox has written loads of picture books. She's also, with Judy Horacek, penned a book for adults, called 'Reading Magic; Why reading aloud to our children will change their lives forever', hailed as a classic for by both educators and parents.
