So Much
Illustrated by Helen Oxenbury
(Walker Books Ltd)
978-0744543964, RRP £5.99, Paperback
Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
This is a book that should be in all Nursery and Reception classes. It's set in an Afro-Caribbean home, and encapsulates the anticipation, the excitement and the joyful bewilderment of any young child in the buildup to a family celebration. Trish Cooke's lovely lilting language and Helen Oxenbury's clever characterisation make it a book to smile over again and again.
