Charlie the Chicken
Illustrated by Ant Parker
(Macmillan Children's Books)
16pp, 978-0333679555, RRP £5.99, Hardcover
Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
This bright, funny pop-up book proved popular with the reception class who loved Charlie's sheer exuberance and delighted in guessing what part of his anatomy, thanks to his healthy eating habits, would be 'great big' next! It is a good laugh and the twist at the end added to the fun but like many such novelty books aimed at younger children it simply does not survive long in their hands. Our verdict: great fun, possibly okay at home as a special treat!
