Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
Buy it! No infant class library or home bookshelf is complete without this book. Quentin Blake's particular wit and sheer joie de vivre surely cannot be matched. In this story ten cherished cockatoos can bear their totally predictable owner no longer and in desperation escape to find hiding places anywhere in the house, just anywhere to get away from him. It makes a wonderful counting book that will be enjoyed by adult and child as it's read over and over again.
