Home Sweet Home

Essentially this is a simple question-and-answer game with the questions being deliberately wrong: 'Does a cat live in a kennel?' for example. The fact that an adult, the author (or perhaps a parent/teacher sharing the book with a young reader) is asking such a silly question is amusing and demands the answer which is supplied over the page: 'No! A dog lives in a kennel, of course.' The text, in large clear type, is so devised that even the complete beginner uses the appropriate intonation naturally. The simple, brightly coloured, jolly pictures have great child appeal whilst the holes, cut-outs, split and half pages all add to the fun.
