'Brilliant!' 'The pictures make it just right.' 'It's like a cartoon but better!' Comments from the Year 2s who reviewed these for me showed that both books fitted the allotted niche perfectly and yet in no way does the reader feel that he or she is being pedantically catered for. Children who were not quite ready for a solo read were highly motivated by the contagious excitement of their mates to work with a will! I feel like echoing one of the higher-flyers, who also loved them - 'Are there any more?'... 'Why not?'
