Red is Best
Illustrated by Robin Baird Lewis
(Oxford University Press)
978-0192721563, RRP £3.99, Paperback
Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
A little girl explains with cogent and convincing reasons exactly why, despite what her mum says, for her red is best. 'I can jump higher in my red stockings'; 'My red pyjamas keep the monsters away'. An instructive story for all super-rational adults who can't appreciate the logic of childhood and for all children who recognise it for themselves. Lively drawings patched with colour picture the personality of the lively narrator.
