AbstractHistoryArchive Description

This book observes a young girl and boy at play. They imagine a whole list of scenarios ranging from the jungle to crossing the icecaps to the ocean. Their final scenario is their very own play house complete with a cat on the bed and a dog at the door. The written text is enriched by very detailed illustrations. (Source: Book)

'The academics and the “mummy bloggers” are in furious agreement – reading picture books to children is one of the best things you can do for a child’s development.
