Yummy

Author: Lucy Cousins

Keeping close to the oral tradition, eight popular European nursery tales (including ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’, ‘Little Red Riding Hood’, ‘The Three Little Pigs’ and ‘The Little Red Hen’) are retold in this handsome, large format picture book in direct, no frills language and bold paintings. Lucy Cousins’ illustrations with their bright blocks of colour, thick black outlines and broad brushstrokes have a zest and substance which give the stories both a contemporary feel and enormous child appeal, ensuring that there is plenty to grab the attention while listening and to talk about afterwards. A definite ‘should-buy’ for the family and nursery bookshelves.
