Here's a few thoughts from the blurb of new book:
TELL ME ALL about two little girls. The story reminds readers of a world of childhood imagination. It is based on memories of an active childhood in Melbourne in the 1930's but will have relevance to today's children. The rationale underpinning the production of this material is that books should be fun. In addition there should be inbuilt predictability to enable the young child to feel comfortable with, and have some degree of mastery of the content. Rhyming and rhythm are natural elements of the language of childhood and the guesswork involved in predicting what is on the following page is both challenging and enjoyable. Parents, teachers and grandparents will enjoy sharing the book with young readers.
