I'm Too Busy

This picture book is one of a new series designed for the very young. It claims to be toddler proof which means that the pages are almost like thin card. Katy has prepared supper, but Charlie the cat is far too busy to stop and eat. He is busy directing traffic, exploring the moon, and dancing at a ball. However, when his tummy rumbles he remembers that it is fish soup, fish cakes and jelly for supper. The text is simple and repetitive, and the vibrant colours in the impressionistic artwork match the story well. The youngest child will soon be reading the picture clues and experiencing a real independent read.
