I have enthused on numerous occasions and in numerous places about both of these books in their original hardback form so they are especially welcome in paperback. Each is essentially a joke created through the interaction of words and pictures, and shared by the author with the reader, the nub of which is what is NOT being said. So, One Hunter is very much more than a simple counting book and On Friday... anything but a diary account of a brother and sister's week. Both offer valuable interpretative lessons to the beginning reader as well as being tremendous fun. Not to be missed!
