Teddy and Rabbit's Muddy Bicycle ¦ Teddy and Rabbit's Picnic Outing

These two are part of a set I reviewed a short while ago and, just as last time, I have had to wrest them from my toddler neighbour with considerable subterfuge in order to write these reviews. It's good to see that the standard hasn't dropped in any way. The books are in the same format as before - really sturdy, hard-wearing and not easily torn. They have appealing storylines that are easy to read aloud and can stand the necessary umpteen repetitions without too much adult cringing! The illustrations are readily accessible to a young child . . . in fact if you know any toddlers and want to raise your status, just buy them one of these.
