All Gone ¦ Oh No!

Both books have enjoyable and entertaining illustrations giving the listening child lots to look at and plenty of words to practise. All Gone deals with a baby learning to say and understand the concept of 'gone', whether it's a toy, something to eat or the dog running away. Oh No! shows the baby making a mess - tangling the knitting wool or putting a plate of spaghetti over his head, for instance. This might well help older children come to terms with the problem of having a messy baby about. Certainly worthwhile books to have in any collection.
