Starring Fred and Ursulina

Suzy-Jane Tanner
(Red Fox)
978-0099290414, RRP £3.99, Paperback
Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
Buy "Starring Fred and Ursulina (Red Fox picture books)" on Amazon

This book elicits diametrically opposing views, with passionate advocates (predominantly, it has to be said, aspiring thespians of the feminine gender) and also calls of 'soppy' and 'boring'! The fact that it's hardly touched the shelf indicates that Suzy-Jane Tanner's formula of twin bears - one a tomboy and the other decidedly not, one who is always neat and tidy and the other who attracts pots of paint and any sort of mess, one whose greatest ambition is to play Sleeping Beauty while the other's is to play the back end of Daisybelle the cow - is a winner. This book is aimed at a very particular niche and it fills it very successfully.
