A great book for parents to share with their children
|
|
My 3 year old son recently borrowed this from nursery and I'm about to buy us our own copy. He loved this book and so did I. It's great fun and the slight twist at the end kept him amused time after time. The pictures are brilliant and can be pored over for ages, always finding something new. I'd highly recommend this for 2-4 year olds....

A gem!
|
This book has stood the test of four children and is still a favourite in the house. The simplest concept brought alive by tons of fun illustrations which just beg to be discussed and giggled over at every reading. No plot, no messages, no preachy stuff, just a lovely idea based around spots and stripes. If only all our lives were that simple ... Magic!

a great 'read it together' book
|
I got this book from our local library and my daughter loved it so much that we had to buy it. It's a great short story about a family who all like different things, the pictures are vibrant and match the story perfectly. It's a lovely book to read together and we spend alot of time looking at the pictures and talking about why they are different.
It's been a regular story in our house since we bought it, my daughter knows the story word for word and took it her nursery the other day and read it to her class mates!!

Spots and stripes and lots of colour
|
|
In this story the little boy's mother likes everything spotty and his father likes everything stripy. The text is pretty minimal - though entertaining - with just one or two simple sentences per page serving to introduce the marvellous, colourful illustrations. These allow for lots of parent-child interaction and provide a great way of learning about patterns and colours. Another benefit of the book is that it shows young children that people can like different things and still be happy.

Good book for the foundation stage.

This book is highly amusing (Mum only likes spots and Dad only stripes). It is a good book to share with a group of young children. They can point out all the patterns and look at patterns in the imediate environment. I have used it before with 3 and 4 year olds in a nursery and we made a patterns display and did many activities on patterns.
