Rita in Wonderworld

I instantly enjoyed Offen's illustrations which give a warmth and humour to Rita and her adventures. In this book, Rita and her family have gone to an adventure style park called Wonderland. Leaving Rita with the children means that she can soon escape and start rescuing other people in trouble - this includes her brothers and sister, who of course never know the identity of their rescuer. Great fun and just the right length to read to younger children, the balance of pictures and print ensures that children will also enjoy reading the book either to themselves or to others.
