Are You Sitting Comfortably?

Author: Leigh Hodgkinson

The young protagonist in this lively picture book from the pen of Leigh Hodgkinson just wants somewhere quiet and comfy to sit and read. But every chair has a character and a problem – too buzzy, too cold, too hot – and as the young reader moves on the appropriate animal follows. But, of course, books are for sharing so can be read anywhere.

Bold illustrations accompanied by bold, quirky fonts combine to make this a fun book to read – and share. Young readers will enjoy spotting the different animals and relating them to the chairs. The fonts though playful are bold enough and clear enough for the gently rhyming text to be read easily and for its message to be received.
