What I like
Six different children, two of them twins, give their views on what they like and dislike ...' What I like is time to play, toys, a holiday, (some) boys, waking early, hair all curly'... and 'Sometimes we don't like ... being a pair ... people who stare... having to share'. Each love or hate is described on a double-spread with small illustrations on the right-hand page so the listening child can identify each phrase with the matching picture. The craftily structured rhyming text is good for learning new words and phrases.
