Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
Shirley Hughes presents the reviewer with an insuperable problem - what can one say that hasn't been said countless times before about the real and yet special world she creates through her language and illustrative style which has become so integral a part of childhood today? Suffice it to say, if Shirley Hughes' name is on the cover and you're looking for a book for the under-6s at the moment - buy it!
